With the ad adjustment came these banner ads on the top of comment sections and they are atrocious so much so I don’t bother reading comments anymore. They all have the obnoxious white backgrounds and they flicker since they move. It feels light no matter my phones britness they are blinding and since content doesnt get loads of comments the banner is just distracting while reading. I’m on board with ads as I haven’t paid to remove but this specific style changes how I’m using sync now.

    I plan to buy it just don’t have the money and I don’t like any of the other apps. I’m not gonna breath down the neck of the one guy working on this in his free time. He does a lot of work in the background and I’m actually fine dealing with the ads this specfic set of ads just makes using the app very uncomfortable to look at.

    A lot of people act entitled to others free time and having on demand responses it’s exhausting for anyone trying to do anything when people slam on them for not relaying messages of every little thing they’re doing.

      That’s not an accurate characterization of it. He went from chatting all the time on Discord to completely disappearing for four months, leaving all us paid users in the wind to suffer all the bugs. From his communication since then, he hadn’t touched the project in the meantime. No one should pay for a beta app and then get abandoned for months. That’s just not right. I don’t understand how that doesn’t leave a bitter taste in your mouth.

      If you call that “slamming”, you must work for a newspaper.
