So I tried sync to see what all the rage was. Doesn’t seem that different really from connect imo. I’m posting this with connect since sync can’t seem to do basic functions like post to communities (really?!!) but they made sure to implement big blocks where “sponsored content” will soon be shown. I figured I’d pay a couple bucks because I really can’t stand ads, but then saw its $20! I’m now assuming most of you commie bastards (said lovingly) are secretly trust fund brats? How can this be a viable price point for ad removal? Is sync really making that much from ads that this iis the conversion point? For the die hard fans, what are you getting from sync that you are not from connect? I’m not seeing the allure.
I spent more than $20 on a pizza the other day. Considering the many hundreds, if not thousands of hours, I used Sync for Reddit over 5 or 6 years, $20 is a no brainer. That said, I wouldn’t pay the $100 lifetime considering because I don’t need the perks associated with it and who knows if Lemmy will be around that long (I hope it will but you never know).
