I'll pay 15x more for Sync if it's Open-Sourced (lemmy.world)

I want Sync to succeed for the benefit of the community. Open-source guarantees that the community will always retain that benefit.

I wonder. Is this sentiment common among members of the Lemmy community?

I really hope that won't be the only option. I've used Sync for so many years and would buy premium in heart beat (I bought lifetime ultra on Sync for Reddit) but I'm afraid I won't subscribe with an ongoing payment. I understand it from the devs point of view as far income is concerned but there's just too many things require subscriptions these days.

Everyone wants a piece of the pie but the pie isn't big enough

Same here, not to sure about sync yet (baconreader user), but one-time payment for a good app is acceptable, maybe even a rebuy when there is a huge update, but no subscriptions here. I refuse to add a permanent payment option to my google account. (I don't trust them, enough)
