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!

Genuine question, would you feel the same way if there was no ad-supported option and instead was just the paid option?
There is no making the service shittier in this scenario, instead you get the additional layer on top of the base service that the app provides. The value proposition is a different discussion in this case, but the app and developer believe that their tool adds functionality that the base service doesn’t provide and they feel that that functionality is worthy of compensation.
I would feel better about, but I still wouldn’t buy it.
