            Right, so it’s free. With ads. Ads that currently dont work, and even if they did, i still haven’t paid for sync, so its free for me.

            Also, why do you care if people are using sync or paying for it. How does that affect you personally?

              yeah its not free XD you have to look at ads which you DONT have to do with regular lemmy.

              Also, why do you care if people are using sync or paying for it. How does that affect you personally?

              it doesnt, why do you ask? i was just correcting the user saying its “free” which is not under any pov. not in price because of ads, not in freedom because it sucks.

                TIL that looking at ads, even without money leaving my bank account, isn’t free. These marketing people are wizards /s

                  I think it’s very valid to say a service isn’t free if it makes you the product by forcibly showing you ads. This is especially true when your data is being collected and shared with advertisers.

                  Time is more valuable than money, and I don’t like spending time on ads. That’s just my two cents, though.

                you have to look at ads

                Your mind is gonna be blown when you learn that you can block ads system-wide on android…

                    Being able to block ads entirely doesn’t change whether or not you see ads in your feed?

                    That’s an interesting, and totally sensible perspective lol

        It literally is. All premium options are a choice.

        Ad removal lifetime is $20, Ultra (which brings extra features) is subscription based and a little more expensive.
