I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It's stayed around that percent the whole time too!
EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA

After reading this I decided to try it out. Within 5 posts there were ads. No thanks, I'll stick with Connect.
Edit: I was scrolling everything and replied. I didn't see this was in the official community. My opinion doesn't matter in here. I think it's great that sync is successful and I hope it continues. So yea, keep on keeping on.
I had to trawl through the cookie settings and manually disable every single option. After that I no longer see any ads, just a space where the ads should be. Annoying that I had to do that though, with Reddit Sync I'd paid a one off fee I think and never saw any ads.
I get it though. I think this app is the devs main job, and the user base is significantly smaller than what it was for Reddit so he's having to put ways in to recover some income.
If you click "reject" it does the same.
I could be mis-remembering but I think I did click that, but the "legitimate interest" options were still ticked?
Nah reject should reject them all ๐
I've been using systemwide adblock on all my electronics for years now so I forget that in app ads are a thing. But yeah, I see your point. They do offer a one time purchase to remove ads.
It's a single developer that should be paid for his work. You can easily upgrade to the ad free version for a few bucks...
Does paying for it also remove the trackers, or just the ads?
Both
I don't disagree that they should make some money for their efforts, but isn't every client for lemmy made by a single developer?
lol
Oh no! Someone wants compensation for their labor?? The horror!
How dramatic of you
Do you own slaves? Because you seem to expect everything to be unpaid labour
Where are all my foss slaves at
If it was reasonably priced, I'd agree. But โฌ20 is just insane, especially when the clients it competes with already have no ads for free
Yeah, I agree the ad-free price seems a little steep. I would be much more fine paying 5-10 dollars for it.
