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!

So you want option three, to take advantage of donated labor? Basically, as long as you get free stuff, you don't care.

If you don't want to give someone money for their time and labor, and you don't want ads. Just don't use the thing. You don't have to be a dick about it alongside.

Now if you want to talk about the merits of Free Software, as in freedom, and how sync doesn't adhere to that. That I would be more engaged in. But it's pretty clear that all you want is free stuff made by other people donating their time and effort, with you benefiting.

3/10 concern troll dude. If you want to get a reaction out of people it's better to not be so obvious about it.

If people didn't want people to use their apps for free, then they shouldn't make them for free. However, if I have a free app without ads, why in the hell would I turn to the guy who is asking me to pay for the same thing someone else is offering for free?

Thus was difficult to read. You think the sync developer 'doesn't want people use the apps for free'? No, they just want to not starve.

Do you have a job? Do you want to get paid for doing that job? Most people do. I do. If someone came to me and said oh fuck off you want to get PAID for this code? When some open source things also exist? No no no, you can't, because open source things exist.
