It’s steep compared to the other options that just don’t have them and offer largely the same experience. I keep hearing that Sync is miles ahead of other apps. It just isn’t.
A good app? Yes. $20 ahead of other apps that just don’t have ads? No.
I edited my above comment to reflect another point, that if all these people are happy to pay $20 to remove ads from Sync, hopefully they’re paying their instances to actually keep Lemmy running.
