    Not trying to be just be contrarian for contrarianism’s sake, but it doesn’t look like anything special to me. I’m just having a hard time wrapping my ahead around why anyone would pay for it, leaving charging for it / putting ads and tracking in it in the first place aside.

      It’s quite polished, mainly that. Even for a beta, there’s almost no bugs, it respects Android Material You specs including animations, and it’s highly customizable, allowing advanced filtering for example. It also adds very nice QoL features like automatically removing AMP links for full links.
      Value is subjective, I personally consider it worthy of my money.

      Not contrarian at all, just different preferences. The simple answer for many people is one of habit. Sync was the only way for many people to access Reddit for a long time (including me) and it just felt like home.

      I personally am a big fan of Voyager as well and it’s really nice to see the vibrant apps scene on Lemmy.
