I get the reason for there being Ads in the sync app. I don’t have the funds to pay for ultra and that’s also fine.

But what I find concerning is the type of ads I see. I live in Germany for clarification and most of what I see are websites acting like news sites (right leaning at times). When I accidentally tap on them my browser immediately blocks the website for unsafe practices on their end.

Now I really don’t mind the ads in apps if it’s the usual app ad, random products or Amazon type of things. But I hate it when every ad is a boomer ass clickbait ad about how solar energy is definitely worse than anything else.

This is my main complaint about sync right now and it might push me to stop using it again as the ads are also very frequent…

    Is this an advert for a product or service? It sounds more like propaganda. Who is funding this stuff?

      Could be all kinds of people, right wing shit exists everywhere but it’s especially on the rise in Germany rn with the right extreme party (AFD) growing rapitly in polls and the “conservative” party CDU leaning heavily to the right since they lost power.
