You have ads on Lemmy though. Which is free and open source software whos developers disagree with the idea of an ad driven internet. Paying for it to remove the ads isn't any better though as you are rewarding this kind of behavior.

Rewarding working 60 hours a week of work on a well-built app?

[–] Izzy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

No, putting ads in software to the point that it is annoying enough to pay someone to make them go away. Selling software without this strategy is respectable.

There is ad supported, ad free and premium. Somehow that's still not enough options for the FOSS extremists.

Basically said what I would have. The app takes work. Work deserves reward. Donations usually aren't proper reward for work put in. I value the work the dev put in.

It isn't so fucking cynical.

Using Sync. Not seen a single ad so far.

I'll probably pay for it at some point when I have the spare cash, to support a dedicated developer.

[–] applejacks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

idk why but my version has no ads

[–] rizoid@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've noticed that the compact mode doesn't show ads.

[–] applejacks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

aha, that's exactly what I'm using
