As a software engineer I find it miraculous the amount of people that whine about somebody wanting to get paid for putting weeks, months, and years of their life into a product 100s of thousands of people CHOOSE to use.

Have been using the Sync reddit app daily for years after paying a couple of quid to remove ads whenever I did that. Felt like a steal then and expensive now so, on balance, I'm comfortable having paid the ad randsome. I feel better knowing it all goes to the developer for his personal efforts.

Paying is fine, it's the SHIT TON OF THIRD PARTY TRACKERS they put in the app that worry me

They get completely disabled if you pay, that's the point. I haven't got a single tracking ping on my PiHole, I bought adfree.

My trust was already broken. These lemmy instances come free of charge, free of ads and free of trackers, and this pig of a dev comes around and pulls out an à la spez shenanigan and everyone praises him. He should be keelhauled. And the lemmy servers should block apps that insert ads unless they share profits. I'd be happy to pay for features that add to lemmy, not for features that were taken away. Fuck sync for lemmy. There, i said it

Freeloader. Enjoy your free stuff off the backs of people doing all the work and paying all the bills.

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

Freeloading, hmm?

When was the last time you made a unprompted decision to donate to the Lemmy devs?

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

Wait.. you pay for sync not to spy on you?

I hope boost doesn't go the same way.

I paid for Sync to toss some money to a dev responsible for the #1 used app on any of my phones for the last 10 years. I paid a criminally low amount back then for how much I used the app.

It happened to also come with ad removal, but I block those and trackers on my network anyway.

Sync is no spying no shit, google ads spy as much as they do in any other site or app you use
