Sync Ultra is a very reasonable $17 a YEAR. YouTube Premium is reaching that per MONTH. I have sync downloaded and it was the first thing I did. Thanks lj for the beautiful app.

[EDIT: That was a poor comparison, as pointed out in the comments. Leaving it for discussion sake.

There are many counterpoints and actually good discussion happening down below. Even if you don't agree, thanks for showing me a different perspective!

If you want to support Sync, make sure to support the Lemmy Devs and your instance holders as well!

Maaaaybe. But so far it's not quite RIF.

It's.the principle of it.

Sync's dev is being greedy. Most of the reason why I left Reddit was because they were being greedy.

I'm not supporting that shit.

So the 'principle' is that developers shouldn't be compensated for their hard work because it inconveniences you, is that right? Comparing a $20 lifetime purchase to the Reddit API pricing debacle is completely ridiculous. You sound incredibly entitled.

I hate it when people see a $100+ price-tag for a lifetime subscription and complain. A OTP is literally a user that cannot be charged again, and if lemmy keeps growing, it will provide value for many years.

I used sync pro for almost 10 years and paid something like $5 for it, such pricing is unsustainable for the developer and I totally understand the subscription model

Dude has the best app for lemmy and provides a good boost to the ecosystem which benefits all. Development time costs (a lot) of money and the dev has every right to charge what he wants.

It's by far the nicest Lemmy app I've used on Android. I used to use sync for reddit too.

It's a no brainer for me.
