But that's more in response to people saying it cost over 100$ to remove ads and it has trackers.
The ultra life time cost 100$, it stops the ads and also comes with some extra features that isn't needed to enjoy sync.
For 20$ the ads will stop and the trackers will be disabled.
Why would you need to pay $20 to access free content? Devs don't pay any creator who makes you scroll Lemmy. They are useless and sell you air.
You don't need to do anything, just keep on using the FOSS apps. It's all good. It's all about having choice.
The content isn't really "free" the people running the servers need to be paid also. If nobody would donate or they don't use any other form of getting funds, the servers wouldn't last.
Sync just provides a way to get to content in a nice polished way, at least that's how experience it. I could watch ads but I paid for a more better experience.
Both need to make money to eat and keep things running.
When you take a taxi to see a movie, nobody thinks that the taxi driver shouldn't be paid.
If someone sell an air purifier, would you berate them for selling access to free air? Of course not, you can still access free air without it. The air purifier just make the free air feel nicer, just like sync making browsing free Lemmy contents feel nicer.
This feels a bit more like setting up a ticket booth outside a public library, and offering a half-assed tour where the guide just reads the signs to you
I'm going to roll my eyes any time someone says they can't use the library without it, but you do you. If it keeps y'all reading, then that's fine.
It's more like selling seat cushions when the library only has folding chairs.
Everyone can still go into the library. If you have the means and desire, buy a seat cushion. If not, the books are still there for everyone.
Why would they pay 20$? Because even if sync is used to access a free service it is a product someone spent their time to make, and is optional. If people want to pay to use the app without ads because they think it's made better than the others (ignoring the ad and Google tracking on free version it IS one of if not the best app experience for Lemmy) they will. The Lemmy experience on sync is 100% better than on Jerboa for me, and I work hard running my own business so I'm not poor so I already forgot about that 20$ and I'm enjoying lemmy MORE than I was before
It's really simple you guys are just grouches.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't care what client y'all use as long as people are here and not on reddit
Most people don't care about what client others are using. It's more the evangelizing of what how $20 isn't that big a deal that is starting to get annoying. If it was just Sync came out and people who liked it used it then it'd be fine, but then some of you guys are bit too fanatical that you'd go into other communities like liftoff to start arguing about Sync and how $20 is worth paying and the app deserves it and so on, and then trashing the Foss alternatives. Yes we get it you love Sync and is the best app ever, but try and tone it down a bit. It's more the userbase that is hurting the image right now than anything.
I'm not making poats about it I'm simply replying to comments other people are making about it first. Lol
I don't care about your background, but since you've mentioned it, you could've dropped $20 to lemmy.ml instead of cashing out for an app that creates problems unless you pay for it, since you throw money around that easy. They need it more than sync devs. This conversation couldn't have happened if our instances weren't properly hosted, but they are still availiable on any app you choose.
How do you know I haven't donated to my Lemmy instance?
And it's not really throwing money around if it's something I use daily and get value from, is it? Im not being irresponsible lol my bills are paid my savings grows every week even when I buy myself superficial things, so it's not really an issue, also why the fuck should you care how I spend my money lmao
By your 'gotcha' comeback, silly. Why do you throw at me how happy and financially savvy you are? Did someone hurt you? Why instead of defending your point you prove you are so well-off? It sounds stupid and miserable. I'm nobody on the internet, Idfc about your bills.
And I don't care about you personally, but you and others like you enable sync to thrive. It shall crumble. I lowkey like that sync devs milked some money from ya, but it should've happened in a more trad fashion, like MML, cryptoscam or something obvious. It could've made easier laughing at you.
You're the one coming off as hurt by complaining about something that doesn't effect you. You're argument was that 20$ is too much and I'm just explaining that 20$ to you might not hold same weight as 20$ to someone else. Sorry it's too expensive for you and sorry you are so upset about an app you don't use.
And yes it feels good to be able to spend 20$ on something you like and and support and never think about that 20$ again. I used sync for reddit for 11 years, daily. I'm using sync for Lemmy daily for hopefully longer.
Keep complaining bub it's gonna CHANGE THE WORLD.
Anyway I'm done with this interaction because it's not going to go any further than it already has. Bye, broke ass.
Oh wait you're the same guy that posted This hahahaha man you're not worth my time.
You think people are useless and un-needed here simply because of an app they use? you say you want to bully people over an app they use
Is your brain functioning properly or are you just a child?
Absolute idiocy
What are you mumbling, lol. Your reply isn't even an answer, but some hallucination. Go on, flex your imaginary rich-ness where people applaud you for that. $20 is nothing for me too, but I have some brains to invest it elsewhere. Sync sucks, prove me wrong, lol. Or pay me to change my opinion, lol.
Yes, I think that. Like I wrote of Threadiverse taking over other instances before with their userbase if they get federated (maybe not on that acc). This place needs to be kept safe and sound. 10mil of Instagram users and Sync shills may actively damage it.
I'll pay you to suck deez nutz.
How much tho? And is it for a single nut or both of them?
