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 guess it’s a matter of perspective and subjective. I see it as paying back for a decade of practically free Sync experience for Reddit that I absolutely enjoyed, and as such I’m compensating the dev for that. Not saying others should apply the same logic (they shouldn’t). But it being a scummy practice is really up to what posting users interpret as value.
