Fwiw, I've been using the free version of Sync since yesterday and still haven't seen a single ad. But also, it's like they just aren't live yet because I do see an occasional empty box with "sponsored content" labeled in the center.

Pricing according to purchasing power parity is a must. People keep clamouring about how its just a price of coffee/beer when the entire argument is baseless.

I've been using it and I haven't seen a single ad and it seems fine? I feel like there isn't an in-between of hating it and loving it more than life itself.

Are ads just not working yet or something? I don't see a reason to even pay unless you want to support him, which is totally fine to do.

The sad part is Sync will likely kill in way more money than the instances we run on.

Really looks like the reddit api change was the best thing that could have happened for these reddit app devs, as now they've got people lining up to pay them money and/or view ads on a platform that doesn't have ads in the first place.

I don't know if I'm doing it wrong, but I'm using sync and I'm not seeing any ads at all.

I also have DNS66 through f-droid though...
