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!

I’m still pretty new to Lemmy, and was a BaconReader Pro user for reddit. While I hold a great deal of respect for the sync developers, and agree they deserve compensation for making such a big development shift, I’m still not convinced that I’ll keep using Lemmy. There’s an awful lot of bitching about reddit, which isn’t interesting to me at all, ddos attacks, and the general difficulty of use associated with federated service. Sync has made it much more approachable for sure, but I’m not sold on continued use. If I opt to stay for a while, I can’t imagine NOT sending the devs some compensation for making the app/service.
There’s only one developer.
Ok
