Sync UI/UX are carried over from years of refinement as a Reddit client with full native controls. It now mostly just has a different API and service layer wired in for Lemmy. Definitely not a simple web view app.
What a terrible way of looking at it. UX matters a lot when you’re using a platform, and some people are willing to tolerate the occasional ad if they get a UX they like and are familiar with.
Gross, I was reading through this thread thinking about checking Sync out, but the idea of wilfully adding ads is so disgusting to me. The browser works well for me anyway, I don’t think I’ll end up getting an app unless it does something outstanding.
I’m not crying. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of paying to get rid of ads on an (previously) ad-free platform. Pretty damn sure who to blame for that crap.
Ehh ill give it a look. I generally avoid apps that are just a website.

It just adds ads that you can pay for to have it removed. Sync is piggybacking on the opensource devs.

You love paying for the trackers, I love the downvotes.

What the fuck are you doing on this community of you hate Sync so much?
That’s not hypocrisy. They’re not advocating one thing and doing another.
If you don’t like the ads don’t use the app.
