    I agree, just wish they would stop mentioning how their app is “just so great and only $20 to get no ads” in every single thread and every other post on every instance

      But that’s more in response to people saying it cost over 100$ to remove ads and it has trackers.

      The ultra life time cost 100$, it stops the ads and also comes with some extra features that isn’t needed to enjoy sync.

      For 20$ the ads will stop and the trackers will be disabled.

        Why would you need to pay $20 to access free content? Devs don’t pay any creator who makes you scroll Lemmy. They are useless and sell you air.

          You don’t need to do anything, just keep on using the FOSS apps. It’s all good. It’s all about having choice.

          The content isn’t really “free” the people running the servers need to be paid also. If nobody would donate or they don’t use any other form of getting funds, the servers wouldn’t last.

          Sync just provides a way to get to content in a nice polished way, at least that’s how experience it. I could watch ads but I paid for a more better experience.

          Both need to make money to eat and keep things running.

          When you take a taxi to see a movie, nobody thinks that the taxi driver shouldn’t be paid.
