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.

Cool
Done.
Fuck this ad invested, data collecting, closed source piece of shit. Use infinity instead.

It's.the principle of it.
Sync's dev is being greedy. Most of the reason why I left Reddit was because they were being greedy.
I'm not supporting that shit.
So the 'principle' is that developers shouldn't be compensated for their hard work because it inconveniences you, is that right? Comparing a $20 lifetime purchase to the Reddit API pricing debacle is completely ridiculous. You sound incredibly entitled.

I'm a day 1 Ultra! I have so missed the Sync experience since Reddit went apeshit cray cray. When sync for Reddit went dark I haven't gone back. I left it installed just In case I clicked a reddit link. I haven't been back to Reddit. But I will log one one final time to review my subs and then reddit is dead. Sync for Lemmy feels so familiar and awesome to use. Can't wait to help develop new communities here in the fediverse.
It's by far the nicest Lemmy app I've used on Android. I used to use sync for reddit too.
It's a no brainer for me.
Immediately bought Ultra. Monthly basis and thankfully set it up with my Google Play balance. So glad I use Google Rewards to help out!
Feels like reuniting with an old friend!
So speaking of that, it seems like you have to pay per device. I payed for ultra on my phone, but it doesn't seem to carry over to my tablet.

I can't believe everyone asking for a one time payment option. If you don't want to keep subscribing just get a yearly ultra and then cancel. Support the dev guys. Nothing worth having is free

I'm starting to think that Lemmy was a bad idea. This place is FULL of hardcore nerds.
Everyone here degoogles, downvotes anything not Firefox, shit talks anything but Linux, and refuses to pay a penny because FOSS!!!!!
On Reddit these people at least existed in their own corner. Not all over the platform being annoying little twats.
