It's ₺3290 which is $122 in Türkiye.
Have you considered people are mad because:
Same purchase was a lot cheaper when it was Reddit.
Reddit already ran ads, so having an app who ran ads of its own was fine.
Monoteizing a FOSS project in a way that doesn't help the maintainers of that project may not be seen as ethical.
Having a subscription for features that don't cost anything to serve (highlighting users can be done locally for instance) might feel like an artificial limitation to drive sales.
The fact that it launched with both a transaction (not a small one, as it costs more than any non-professional app I bought) and a subscription service in literally the first beta of the app.
Combination of these with all the alternatives being all-free (both in price and as in freedom) might make people think few times before paying for this app.
Personally, I really dislike the price, find subscription meh but I absolutely adore Sync's UX. But honestly, without few things changing, I don't see myself recommending Sync to friends.
I like the rolling release for just about everything. Since package updates are spread out, you can usually figure out which package broke what pretty easily if something ever breaks down.., which shouldn't, because I still can't recall instance of such catastrophic failure just by updating.
Is there any vastly different alternative? systemd-boot isn't a whole lot different.
Even if it was all gamers, that'd push a lot of companies to care about Linux a whole lot more. Venn diagram of people who spend a lot of money in tech stuff and people who play games is almost a circle nowadays.
I don't know what happened but I also see less politics and more interesting topics, which is making me want to vote more let alone to comment more.
I also did the same yet I still see the empty spaces. I also tried revoking GDPR and still seeing the same spaces. Interesting.
Being paid. Sync runs ads normally. Although he could go in the old Slide route.
Connect also.
I already have a DNS blocker so I only see blank spaces between posts, maybe it's something like that for you as well?
I have the first hand experience that not voting for smaller parties is much worse. What ends up happening is people just don't vote instead, or vote for who's set to win (which would be Trump in this case).
In Türkiye, main opposition bullied everyone else like this (to a point where a candidate withdrew). I know a lot of people who got bullied in real life for not supporting the major candidate. What ended up happening is they didn't vote or vote for Erdoğan out of spite.
Who do you think benefitted from this entire ordeal? Erdoğan. Trump will do the same and possibly gonna sweep the elections. Also he's probably gonna call for more people to vote because the position he's in can be capitalized upon as "Biden is trying to eliminate the main opposition" which actually will drive more people to vote. Erdoğan did the same exact thing as well.
Good luck.
