The thing is... if it was the ONLY GOOD choice or even just the best choice, I would be willing to buy it. It just isn't though. There are so many FOSS options already. There will be better and cheaper paid closed source options in the future as well.
It is quite a weird thread. I'm seeing a lot of people saying Sync is the best, and honestly, it might be, but the logic that the others are outright bad doesn't fly. The only app that is outright bad is Jerboa, and the only reason to use Jerboa was if you were on here since BEFORE reddit even started the API thing, when it was the only option. We have a TON of options right now. Everyone actually focusing on Jerboa feels like they're not an actual Lemmy user.
