Just a quick correction, to just remove ads it's $20, which is ridiculous to ask for a lifetime of something only a few months old (lemmy).
Lemmy had been around for a few years already, it didn't magically appear because of the reddit drama.
I do agree that $10 is more in line with what I'd expect personally, but to be fair you have a few options before getting to that point.
If you know you're going to be using Sync and staying on Lemmy, you have no problem.
If you're staying on Lemmy but just trying Sync, you can just use the app with ads for a while to try it out, or you could subscribe to the monthly subscription which is like $2 a month, and if you are still using it 10 months later then it's clearly worth the cost to you.
Or if you don't like ads and you don't like subscriptions and you're not attached to Sync, you probably just move on to another app!
