Why would they pay 20$? Because even if sync is used to access a free service it is a product someone spent their time to make, and is optional. If people want to pay to use the app without ads because they think it’s made better than the others (ignoring the ad and Google tracking on free version it IS one of if not the best app experience for Lemmy) they will. The Lemmy experience on sync is 100% better than on Jerboa for me, and I work hard running my own business so I’m not poor so I already forgot about that 20$ and I’m enjoying lemmy MORE than I was before
It’s really simple you guys are just grouches.
