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

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.

[-] reallyzen@unilem.org 16 points 1 year ago

Me too, which makes Sync an endless scroll of black squares where ads should be. No thanks, Connect it is.

You might need a better adblocker. With AdGuard I see an empty box from time to time. It's in the colour of the background.

You can pay to hide it completely.

[-] AbsolutelyNotCats@lemdro.id 6 points 1 year ago

I know, i would pay for it (as I did buying the reddit pro and dev versions) but I don't consider that it has a fair price and I don't support subscription models either.

I'm happy hopping between connect and eternity. Boost beta is coming next week as well, so I'm not worried at all.

Scrolling through those black spaces is for sure a bad user experience for me, but to each his own

It's good we have plenty of options. I'm going to try Boost as well because it's the app that really hooked me to reddit and in the end it brought me to lemmy. Although Sync has been so great there's no guarantee I switch. And if Boost released earlier, I probably wouldn't even tried Sync. Let's see them compete. Or collaborate. Or both.

I'd pay 5ish bucks like I did for RIF, but for now ill just donate to Liftoff or other open dev without ad injection needs. Id rather buy Sync outright for a few bucks than have yet another ad platformed app running.

Thye offer a separate version without the ad platform with tracking baked in?

[-] anonymous_bot@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

They don't and likely won't ever. Google is apparently cracking down on having multiples of the same app.

I don't get what you mean here but the in app one time purchase for ultra removed ads and tracking, at least did in my case
