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 lj for the beautiful app.
[EDIT: That was a poor comparison, as pointed out in the comments. Leaving it for discussion sake.
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!

Excuse me? People can barely afford food. A huge chunk of the population will never own their own home. Everyone is asking for tips and wages are not going up. Why pay for something when I can access it for free right now? Sure they may have worked hard to make an app, but it’s not my job or responsibility to pay them for a service that I get for free. I’m not paying $1.50 a month to have what my current app has. That’s stupid.
Forgive me for speaking to you like a westerner, but you typed like one so I’m assuming we have somewhat-similar environments (but not assuming on individual details of your life).
If you live in a developed western nation and can’t afford $1.50 / month, I don’t know how you have time to post on forums. I don’t mean to be a troll, but that’s my gut-reaction. Apologies if I offend.
Even poor people cant work 24/7. I’d agree a $1.50 stretched over a month isn’t much. A Twix is twice that. Maybe that half a twix is life or death for some people?
