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!

Since we're doing meaningless comparisons:

Am I doing that right?

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Oh, but Adobe charges the very reasonable $600/yr and Autodesk a bargain $3000+ per year for their software, so clearly Sync must not be that good to only be asking $17 a year. I think I'll look for something more professionally priced, instead.

Isn't sync also free?

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

From what I've heard, you pay by viewing ads. Those can be blocked at the DNS level, though.

I just downloaded sync and don't see ads. I do run dns66 though so that must be it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, but you still see a big ass block where the ad would be, which isn't the case in any other Lemmy app.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't seen a big empty block yet.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

what blocker do you use? that's what I see with nextdns

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Found out I don't see ads because I'm using small cards
