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 j for the beautiful app.

EDIT: 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!

I'm starting to think that Lemmy was a bad idea. This place is FULL of hardcore nerds.

Everyone here degoogles, downvotes anything not Firefox, shit talks anything but Linux, and refuses to pay a penny because FOSS!!!!!

On Reddit these people at least existed in their own corner. Not all over the platform being annoying little twats.

It sounds more like Lemmy was a bad idea for you specifically, lol

Sounds like the hardcore nerds are thriving.

Sounds like the nerds want everything for free. They don't want to pay with their data or their wallet. Can't have both.

It's true though, programmers and IT professionals are know to have aversion to pay for their tools. "Why pay $20 when you can spend the whole weekend making an open source solution works" kind of thing. I know because I'm one of them. Made an exception for sync though because I've been using it for 8 years.

For me it really just depends on how nice / impactful to my experience it is. I don't pay for a git client because I'd rather just use the CLI, but I do pay for the JetBrains suite of tools because they are genuinely good (though I do still rock a decent vim setup for stuff that doesn't need a full-blown IDE).

I have no problem paying for Sync because its a decent Lemmy client, and I also donate to the Lemmy project and pay for my own Lemmy instance (or rather, the server and resources that it uses to operate).

Really glad that even people here are prone to painting each other with swaths of a paintbrush, though.
