For me it’s actually a bit about brand loyalty. Been using synch for 10+ years and got so used to it. I don’t have problems with other Lemmy apps at all.

I used the first two, but just enjoy the experience of sync better. If sync didn’t exist, I’d be just fine and happy still. But I currently browse Lemmy 30 minutes to an hour each day, so $20 for no ads is something I’ll probably eventually pay for the hundreds of hours I’ll use the app.
