It just adds ads that you can pay for to have it removed. Sync is piggybacking on the opensource devs.
You love paying for the trackers, I love the downvotes.
Cry more
I'm not crying. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of paying to get rid of ads on an (previously) ad-free platform. Pretty damn sure who to blame for that crap.
What the fuck are you doing on this community of you hate Sync so much?
That's not hypocrisy. They're not advocating one thing and doing another.
If you don't like the ads don't use the app.
What a terrible way of looking at it. UX matters a lot when youβre using a platform, and some people are willing to tolerate the occasional ad if they get a UX they like and are familiar with.
I'm all for people liking a certain UI/UX and supporting the dev but seriously, putting ads on fucking Lemmy? This is just so wrong
What's the point on not using reddit's mobile app then? I was using a 3PA because I couldn't stand the ads and now comes someone to put ads on an app for Lemmy jfc
Exactly. And with it, it brought an army of ad-loving nuggets (from Reddit I'd say by the way they reply so defensive to me, just look at the downvotes).
If instead they could appreciate and donate some of their hard earned money to all the devs of those instances⦠Instead of getting rid of ads on an non-ad platform (yeah, that's dumber than Trump).
I'm 99% sure this army has been bought by Stync to promote their app. They're making 100$ of those subscriptions. An army like this doesn't cost much in comparison.
Baby needs his bottle
Lol. You go ahead and pay for no-ads on a non-ad platform and call other babies. At least one of us doesn't have the intelligence of a baby, and you don't know who.
Gross, I was reading through this thread thinking about checking Sync out, but the idea of wilfully adding ads is so disgusting to me. The browser works well for me anyway, I don't think I'll end up getting an app unless it does something outstanding.
