The developer is not responsible for the targeted ads users get AFAIK

Then don’t? You can use the app for free, free as in a free beer

There are a lot of insane people out there 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, Lj said he’s taking this week to regionalize pricing

supposedly

Nope, they do that in reality, it has happened to LJ a few times already with Sync for reddit free/pro/dev

Insane? $20 to remove ads is insane? That’s 2 Starbucks coffees

Check your Play Store account, I just did that installing on WSA and the Ultra subscription got restored without problems

Here

Settings shortcut: Lemmy preferences > Home instance

It unloads the ad library, and the next time you open it won’t be initialized

That’s Ultra. Ad remover is $20 usd

It’s tied to the Google account

I’ve paid 10 for a beer, so 2 beers?

Elaborate

Sync for Lemmy doesn’t have trackers and the one time purchase is $20

It’s $20

No, it’s per Google account like any other IAP

Living in a first world country is not “privilege” there are people who didn’t choose where to be born.

Just use the free app like I did when I lived in Venezuela (I was born there)

So?

By definition the ads the app uses are not spyware, therefore it is a fact.

Google Play Services by definition is not spyware, again, fact.

Not everything that tracks users is spyware, I’m really hating this place being anti everything that is not FOSS…

He relies on the instance up time
