Pretty much title!

I’d love to support the developer, but I don’t feel like dropping $100 right now.

I think the dev pays for Imgur and other media hosting site APIs so that is also a factor. No other app displays media as integrated as Sync.

I just tried uploading a picture and it was uploaded to my home instance for sharing. I do not see where imgur comes in the equation.

Ah I'm talking about APIs to more conveniently view the media (i.e. it doesn't open up imgur.com in a browser). AFAIK it costs money to use that API now so I don't think any free app without ads can provide that unless I'm mistaken.
