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!

…Lemmy is free.
Also the one time payment model was how sync funded itself until now.
Lemmy has the illusion of being free IMO, our donations keep the cloud clouding and the devs devving 🫣
Lol you think lemmy is free. Try actually hosting. Nothing is free. Not lemmy, not mastodon, not kbin. I subscribe to mastodon’s patreon and I support my hosts just like I’m paying for sync. Because I want to keep it going. Of course there will be free users, I understand not everyone is as privileged as me but that doesn’t mean any of these things are free.
Also one time payment was a form of how sync funded itself. It still had the sync ultra function alongside the pro version.
