minus-square@KurolinkEnglish-28•2 years agoWhy are there even ads in the first place? No other app has them
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish56•2 years agoBecause @ljdawson is working on it full time and dude’s gotta eat
minus-square*Tagger*linkEnglish33•2 years agoWhat financial model would you like sync to operate under?
minus-square*Tagger*linkEnglish18•2 years agoBut that would exclude people who don’t want to or can’t afford the subscription. This way LJDawson is letting people choose.

minus-square@MrLuemasGlinkEnglish14•2 years agoConnect is great. Sync is great. Just let people browse in peace. This has been the worst week Lemmy has had because it’s all bitching and counter bitching about the bitching.
minus-squareLeuthillinkEnglish8•edit-22 years agoI think the dev pays for Imgur and other media hosting site APIs so that is also a factor. No other app displays media as integrated as Sync.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoI just tried uploading a picture and it was uploaded to my home instance for sharing. I do not see where imgur comes in the equation.
minus-squareLeuthillinkEnglish2•2 years agoAh I’m talking about APIs to more conveniently view the media (i.e. it doesn’t open up imgur.com in a browser). AFAIK it costs money to use that API now so I don’t think any free app without ads can provide that unless I’m mistaken.
