That’s great that it’s a one time removal of ads. I guess it kind of confused me that there were two separate options for removing ads, but I’m grateful.

It’s unfortunate that the price is up, but it’s better than spending for a subscription for ad removal.

Ultra sounds interesting for sure, but I’m not sure it’s worth it. I might try 1 month later on. I think it’s just because lemmy is smaller than reddit (for now :)) which makes these features less used, at least in the short term. Who knows, maybe in a couple years, it will be a no brainer.

I guess the reason I was confused is because typically there is no one time removal and everything is just a subscription. I appreciate that, at least for removing ads. The features in ultra are interesting but not worth it right now.

I understand. I was using liftoff and that was pretty good for me (still have it as a backup). I also tried jebora and connect. Sync is definitely the most polished, even in beta. I’m not going to remove ads until I know I want to stick with sync, but it definitely feels like I’m headed that way.
