    The developer works full time for the app, even when it was a Reddit client. If you guys can’t view an ad every once in a while to support something you use daily, then delete your Lemmy account. Nobody eats for free.

      The Sync developer doesn’t work on it fulltime. He worked on it for maybe a few months, then at least a year of hardly any update.

      I really wonder if you’re a long time Sync user.

        LJ absolutely works on it full time, he doesn’t have any other job, and I’ve been using Sync for about 6 years at this point

      Imagine defending advertisements.

      Sorry, but I’m not a fucking product. I don’t care who’s pushing them.

        I agree. That’s why I pay for apps and services that are well designed and supported. The “free” mentality always leads to advertisements being pushed into everyone’s face.

        Without financial support, most Lemmy instances wouldn’t exist. I’d rather support apps that have free versions with premium subscriptions, or donation models, but it’s all the same thing to me. I want to go back to world where we just pay for stuff.

          Lol that world was shit. I never payed for Vim so I’m not sure what you are on about. Free software is superior.
