Immediately bought Ultra. Monthly basis and thankfully set it up with my Google Play balance. So glad I use Google Rewards to help out!
Feels like reuniting with an old friend!
How about, you know, Sync Pro again? I'd gladly pay one time to remove ads, but I'm not doing subscriptions.
I bought a year sub to support the dev after all the reddit fuckery. We'll see if I renew.
The difference is I use YouTube and YouTube Music for hours a day. I'm on Lemmy maybe an hour a day. I'm not paying any subscription for a free service. I wouldn't even pay for YouTube Premium, but I'm an original Google Music adopter, and their music algorithm really knows what I like.
I gave up Netflix, so I can stomach the cost increase this one time. Maybe my mood will change when the price increase hits later this year.

You aren't. That would be your Lemmy instances patreon (or similar). I hope you support your instance because otherwise this entire service could fail.
You're paying for the slick presentation and app features with Sync. I'm a software engineer. It is difficult work. Time consuming. Risky as well given this (sync) is literally the dev's full time job.
That's the beauty of third party apps; you can find a best match for you. But there will almost always be a quality and feature gap between people doing it for a hobby and people doing it for a career. That is why Apollo beat basically every iOS client. That is also why Sync beat the other Android reddit clients for me. And it has already beaten the free ones for Lemmy in my opinion.
I'm still paying my sync for reddit fee and I bought pro in 2012. I also subbed to the lemmy variant today.
Why would you still be paying for reddit sync? If you want to donate, do it directly and not in a way where Google takes 15%
I paid to remove ads. I did so before seeing the price for Ultra. Ah well. lol
