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!

I’m not a sync user but I feel like the dev may have missed an option - pay what you want. PWYW feels almost like a donation.
If I remember right PWYW works best when coupled with charity/a good cause. So if for example Sync was offered as PWYW with a percentage going to the Lemmy backend developers, that might work.
If the option had been offered, I think some people would have gone for that.
