So I tried sync to see what all the rage was. Doesn't seem that different really from connect imo. I'm posting this with connect since sync can't seem to do basic functions like post to communities (really?!!) but they made sure to implement big blocks where "sponsored content" will soon be shown. I figured I'd pay a couple bucks because I really can't stand ads, but then saw its $20! I'm now assuming most of you commie bastards (said lovingly) are secretly trust fund brats? How can this be a viable price point for ad removal? Is sync really making that much from ads that this iis the conversion point? For the die hard fans, what are you getting from sync that you are not from connect? I'm not seeing the allure.

Sync was only released within the last week to the public, it's going to take a little more time to finish working out the bugs. I am excited for sync because it was my preferred Reddit app and I'm hopeful it'll be as good here. As for the ads... I use adguard dns and I haven't seen any ads yet... Hopefully that continues. I agree $20 is steep but I thought I read somewhere that was one time payment. Someone else will have to confirm.

Remember when software with known bugs wasn't released to the public?

Pepperidge farm remembers.

There has never been a time when software with known bugs wasn't released to the public.

Yeah, I'd rather have a healthy backlog of triaged bugs than the alternative. Which is just having no clue what bugs are in your code because absolutely no software ships bug free.

Beta software isn't a new phenomenon lol
