So I tried sync to see what all the rage was. Doesn't seem that different really from connect imo. I'm posting this with connect since sync can't seem to do basic functions like post to communities (really?!!) but they made sure to implement big blocks where "sponsored content" will soon be shown. I figured I'd pay a couple bucks because I really can't stand ads, but then saw its $20! I'm now assuming most of you commie bastards (said lovingly) are secretly trust fund brats? How can this be a viable price point for ad removal? Is sync really making that much from ads that this iis the conversion point? For the die hard fans, what are you getting from sync that you are not from connect? I'm not seeing the allure.

Or he could get 5 bucks from four people instead of 20 from one.

I mean, it even make sense to wait a little: collect big tickets from people who are ok with that amount now, and from the most supportive ones, and collect another bunch of money later, with sales or promotions.

It would make sense, and if this method works for the dev, everyone benefits from it.
