MODERATORS
Their invasive tactics are concerning. If we'd eat that, other devs may follow. It may become the new reality.
Servers aren't free. Donating to your instance is better than paying forban add-free Sync experience. This way you also help other users by making downtime even less noticeable.
Nothing is free. If you value the app and don't like ads, pay for it. If not, use a free one or build one yourself. If you value the service a server is providing, pay for it. Why would you want to artificially restrict our possibilities? it's not like we can only choose one or the other.
The problem isnt that its paid, it's that they use google AdSense.
I do not trust a Dev willing to send my data through Google servers.
So don't use it? Or pay for it and avoid the ads?
Well, I don't use it.
But in regards to the payment, Why on earth would I pay a Dev who thinks using Google servers for ads is a good idea?
That's just bad judgement
It may snowball into other apps wanting it too? The first to take this step out of blue is asking to face some resistance. It's natural. I'm surprised no one else is against them.
So? Someone who can't afford to build an app for free won't do it if there is no demand for it. People building free open source apps will still do it. I really don't get the problem...
Other free services becoming for-profits and add-infested? Sync can set a trend others may follow. As they are first to do so, I'm surprised no one argues thst, as they may set up a degradation of every others' experience with this platform.
So is your argument that devs creating free apps are only doing so because they haven't realized they could be charging money for it? Because if so, you live in another world than the rest of us, friend.
