Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

Except Sync is way more polished than a lot of the others, has a developer I’ve trusted for years, has more features…

Also in what world do you live in where $17 a year is a lot of money, or $100 for lifetime? Is it the year 1899? We’re over here complaining about Netflix closing in on $20 a month and you’re complaining about $100 for a forever license?

I was a redditor for 13 years. I bought the premium version of every app. Sync was never a standout for me.

$17 a year isn’t a lot, but when you consider that EVERY company is trying to fleece us all the time by using subscription models where we used to just buy products … It adds up.

No $17 a year isn’t a lot. But it is a lot for something you can get for free.

hence why it’s pretty great that there’s a lifetime license…

For $20…?

For a lot of people $20 isn’t a figure that they’d be spending on something that’s having really good alternatives available for free.

Not saying that sync is bad or anything but the way you keep repeating how $20 or $90 for a lifetime licence is a steal sounds so patronizing to the people who can’t afford it.
