I agree. That’s why I pay for apps and services that are well designed and supported. The “free” mentality always leads to advertisements being pushed into everyone’s face.
Without financial support, most Lemmy instances wouldn’t exist. I’d rather support apps that have free versions with premium subscriptions, or donation models, but it’s all the same thing to me. I want to go back to world where we just pay for stuff.
Not just pay for stuff, but actually own the stuff we pay for. All those albums and movies and video games that people pay hundreds of times their value by using a subscription service, can be revoked without warning or appeal. Having a CD or BluRaycollection isn’t just about “showing off”, it means you can listen to that music or watch that movie/show any time without the need of a connection or at the whim of some corporate overlord.
They were providing a means by which you can have ad-free access with one payment to Sync’s dev. Thus, you pretty much own unobstructed access to said service with no further charge.
That’s unfortunately as good as it gets in today’s world, unless you want to keep using CDs and DVDs like it’s 2004. Your call.

You can buy a ads-free version of sync without subscription for about 15 euros.
Don’t bother keeping up with the conversation, just keep being an ad. Whore.
Lol what a sad human being.
