    Okay sure, so what examples do you have of a successful modern revolution?

    Bonus points if you can name one where the winners didn’t just immediately change the rules and continue fucking over the little guy.

    Another bonus point if you can name an example where a revolution didn’t result in disproportionate civilian deaths relative to the ‘bad guys’.

    Then again, maybe you’re one of those ‘the end justifies the means’ kind of guys, who fantasizes about saving the rest of us by way of firing squad. If that’s the case, I’ll expect you to be on the front line to fight the government funded military force that shows up.

    Or maybe, just maybe you’re another lame ass tankie who talks a big game, but would piss their pants if someone so much as gave you a dirty look IRL.

    In my experience you can have:

    1. Good app that is free with ads,
    2. Good app that is paid without ads,
    3. Shit to mediocre app that is free without ads.

    I’ve tried many alternatives, but so far the intuitiveness and beautiful UX of Sync stand apart from the competition for me. I respect FOSS apps, and even prefer them in some cases. But let’s not pretend that its the best approach for every developer, or that anyone who releases a non-FOSS app is automatically greedy or sketchy.

    You don’t need to pay for Sync if you can’t afford it either, though. A free version exists, the only noteworthy difference is that it shows ads. To your point, there are technically a few gated features behind the Ultra subscription, but these are niche inclusions that 99% of people probably wouldn’t use even if they were included for free. I think of them more as an added bonus for supporting the dev.
