I’m in the same boat - zero ads in Sync for Lemmy until this last update. I just assumed the purchase from Sync for Reddit had carried over, but I guess either LJ changed his mind or it wasn’t intentional.

Pipe dream, but I really wish we would make it illegal to use the terms “Buy” or “Own” for digital goods that can at some point not exist outside of your control.

I give you a dollar and get a DRM-free video file? That is buying.

I give you a dollar and can watch a video file an unlimited number of times in your app? That is not buying, and it should be fraud to claim that it is.

It’s even sillier than that - 5x as much is 400% more. 399x as much is 39800% more.

I had to pay for a static IP just this week because it turns out the new ISP uses CG-NAT.
