No. But you have to pay for ad-free. The ultra subscription service is more expensive than it was under reddit Sync. I’m hoping the prices will go down as the app gets more popular. I’m guessing the dev is trying to make up for the lost revenue from shutting down the reddit app.
I have most of the clients installed and sync is one. Honestly never paid a cent, never saw an ad, never felt compelled to pay for anything.
I sympathize with those concerned about its data tracking, which is supposed to only be there for the limited ad revenue. But the dev asking for payments for features? It’s nonsense to get up in arms about that.
You should be able to make a living off of development skills as long as it’s done ethically.
Edit: hey I am an idiot. I forgot that I set my phone’s dns to an ad blocker one. Without it, perhaps I would hate sync, lol.
Wait, you have to pay for Sync?

I downloaded Sync two days ago and I still haven’t seen an ad. I’m not sure where they are.
There is a one time payment of about $20 (price may vary per region) that will stop ads and trackers will be turned off.
Ah, OK. I’m perfectly happy with Connect. Was just curious.

Yea I have no beef with the dev charging. People need money
Having to accept that horrible Privacy Policy though, even if I do pay. No thanks
See that is a position I can understand. But that’s not the position getting the air time on lemmy, unfortunately.
