Sync Ultra is a very reasonable $17 a YEAR. YouTube Premium is reaching that per MONTH. I have sync downloaded and it was the first thing I did. Thanks j for the beautiful app.

EDIT: There are many counterpoints and actually good discussion happening down below. Even if you don’t agree, thanks for showing me a different perspective!

If you want to support Sync, make sure to support the Lemmy Devs and your instance holders as well!

    As someone from a third world country, fuck no. That shit is too expensive for me. Maybe to you privileged folk it’s reasonable. To me it’s nonsense.

    I feel shitty about it too since I was a long time sync pro user, I thought sync for lemmy would also have an affordable pro version but fuck me I guess

      Ultra =! Pro

      Adfree is available as a separate lifetime purchase for 10 USD.

          Wait a couple days, regional pricing is not working yet. That’s a Google problem.

          I’ve used sync for reddit just over 12 years long. If I get the same time out of lemmy, that’s 80 cents per year.

          If that’s too much for you, I can’t help you.

        You have countries where people don’t earn $1 a day. Once they cover their basic needs, $10 is like wining the lottery.

        It’s where Youtube does better. The price of premium is adapted to the local situation.

          Did you upgrade to beta 25 yet? Generally you might wait a few more days until all the pricing stuff is working properly, google is still rolling it out.

      Living in a first world country is not “privilege” there are people who didn’t choose where to be born.

      Just use the free app like I did when I lived in Venezuela (I was born there)

        Privilege is not something necessarily gained on purpose. Being born to a wealthy family is privilege and not a choice either, but there is undeniable privilege. It’s not a negative thing, it’s something one should be aware of where they may have it and recognize it. It’s not something to feel guilty over, it just… is.
