ITT, bunch of people who have never used Sync for Reddit whining about Sync Ultra and the app having ads. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I used sync for reddit for a decade. No way in hell I'm paying $20 for the ad-free upgrade. Explain how lemmy which is months old and a minute fraction of the size of reddit, should cost me more to browse ad-free than reddit? It's mind boggling that we're in the age where asking $20 for a 3rd party social media app is being defended as reasonable.

I'm not defending Sync (I don't even use it, I'm more of a Slide/Infinity guy; I'm just here to see how other Reddit app ports are doing), but Lemmy is not "months old". It's been a thing since early 2019, the recent Reddit drama just gave it a massive push bringing its userbase from negligible to tiny.

Right yah I felt like that was probably the case when I was typing that honestly, that's my bad, I guess I should've said only really started taking off months ago, and is still rather small.
