Sync Ultra is a very reasonable $17 a YEAR. YouTube Premium is reaching that per MONTH. I have sync downloaded and it was the first thing I did. Thanks lj for the beautiful app.
[EDIT: That was a poor comparison, as pointed out in the comments. Leaving it for discussion sake.
There are many counterpoints and actually good discussion happening down below. Even if you don’t agree, thanks for showing me a different perspective!
If you want to support Sync, make sure to support the Lemmy Devs and your instance holders as well!

The difference is I use YouTube and YouTube Music for hours a day. I’m on Lemmy maybe an hour a day. I’m not paying any subscription for a free service. I wouldn’t even pay for YouTube Premium, but I’m an original Google Music adopter, and their music algorithm really knows what I like.
I gave up Netflix, so I can stomach the cost increase this one time. Maybe my mood will change when the price increase hits later this year.
