    So you would rather have micro transaction/dlc for various features… Instead of having a free path and a paid path…

    Honestly all these hardcore, zealot Linux users all bent out of shape because god forbid they pay for someone’s work while acting like they’re on the high road, really makes Linux users look bad. I’ve come across way too many posts about yet another person triggered because OMG, it wasn’t just free and the dev can’t survive off good vibes and a ‘donate’ button no one would click.

    For all the people mad sync isn’t free, how many of the Foss projects have you donated too. A fiver one time a decade ago to one project means nothing. Going to guess I’ll get more downvotes than people showing proof the donate, regularly.

    I bought sync. Bought it here and bought it on Reddit many years ago. With the amount of time I used it, probably came out to less than a penny per hour of use.

      It seems you are grouping me in with previous people you have talked to. And I hate micro transactions or dlc.

      I would simply lower the prices. That’s it. I think people should pay for quality software, including search engines and email providers that are high quality. I do that of course myself. It’s the only way to get away from the ad/tracking model we have today.

      But the price of Sync is just too high.
