I tried Sync but I like Jerboa better. Free, no ads

Try installing an ad blocker. For example, Adguard is pretty good, but must be downloaded from their website instead of from Google Play (ad blockers that can block ads system-wide are not allowed on Google Play). The are also various dns-based ad blockers such as nextdns, which can block ads in apps as long as you can change your device's DNS.
The developer is not responsible for the targeted ads users get AFAIK
Of course he is. They can always set up their ads to avoid scammy clickbait shit. But those pay the most so this is what we get.
Block them. Google NextDNS, takes about 10 seconds to set up with a simple change in your phone's DNS settings.
I didn't know this trick, any downside to do this ?
Downside is you aren't supporting the Dev. Can buy it if you want.
In really don't get it, why use it? Good UI? Really, that's it?
Ok so why not just donate to the Foss apps instead? The huge amounts that went to sync would have made any Foss app at least just as good.
You do you, I just don't get it.
Maybe? But I know what I'm getting with Sync. Donations to FOSS don't guarantee anything.
And really, once we start talking about donating to free software with the expectation of specific returns, we're basically talking about paying for software. If a specific set of FOSS is only good when people pay for it, there's a problem with the incentivization to work on that set of software.
