    ya went a little too far at the end there. nothing wrong with not wanting to pay a subscription fee lol. its not a noble cause to pay some dude who made an app we dont need

      Complaining about a $20 purchase you don’t have to make qualifies for “cheapskate” I think. Simply not purchasing it, or not wanting to purchase it, is fine. The difference is entitlement.

        I think the point of this post was the lack of regional pricing, so for them it is not a $20 purchase.

          I’m not calling OP entitled here. Regional pricing is good and they seem to be adding it now. I’m talking about some of the more vocal opponents of the app’s pricing.

        How? I don’t want to pay for an app when I have one that satisfies my needs for free.That doesn’t make me a cheapskate. I was using this before Sync was even available. I can express my opinions about it too. I don’t think it’s worth the money when the service is already free and I don’t like it’s tactics to make you pay. But again, why would I care if someone paid for Sync? I’m not going to call all Sync users money wasters. Clearly they found value in it. People who didn’t aren’t just cheapskates

          It’s the implication that the sync dev is doing something nefarious by charging to remove ads from the free app they developed.

            I didn’t imply that. I don’t like the ad model and I think it’s bad for people. How many times are people going to try to make this dev sound like the most humble person ever. The poor dev made this free app and you wont support them. Dude can and already has made money. I’m not saying not to support independent devs. I’m saying I don’t like the model and that’s my fucking choice to not use it. I’m fine with Jerboa and I’m not a cheapskate because I wasn’t convinced to use Sync. This is the most bizarre opposition I’ve ever faced.

              It’s not really bizarre. You’re digging in to something and responding to each comment, and every time you do, you talk from a perspective that to others is obviously flawed. In every comment you said “noooo I’m not a cheapskate, I just want an app for free” and that is amusing.

              You’re the asshole who posts useless bug reports on GitHub but never donates. Get the 🦆 out of my project issues.

                I literally said I donate dumbass. I don’t want Sync for free cunt. I don’t want Sync at all if it uses ads I have to pay to remove when I have a free alternative. That’s not a cheapskate decision. That’s called not wasting my fucking money. If someone likes Sync, then it isn’t a waste for them.

                And I reply each time you do. Doesn’t take that long. Beyond that, the people digging this far are like you. My original comments are upvoted so clearly I’m not against everyone here…

      not wanting to pay a subscription fee

      It’s a one-time $20. It’s literally in the meme were both commenting on.
