As someone from a third world country, fuck no. That shit is too expensive for me. Maybe to you privileged folk it's reasonable. To me it's nonsense.
I feel shitty about it too since I was a long time sync pro user, I thought sync for lemmy would also have an affordable pro version but fuck me I guess
Ultra =! Pro
Adfree is available as a separate lifetime purchase for 10 USD.
You have countries where people don't earn $1 a day. Once they cover their basic needs, $10 is like wining the lottery.
It's where Youtube does better. The price of premium is adapted to the local situation.
I've been working in developing aid for ages, and while true that there are places where people earn below $1, those people hardly have smartphones.
And if they do, they can use the ad supported version just fine.
