I get the reason for there being Ads in the sync app. I don’t have the funds to pay for ultra and that’s also fine.
But what I find concerning is the type of ads I see. I live in Germany for clarification and most of what I see are websites acting like news sites (right leaning at times). When I accidentally tap on them my browser immediately blocks the website for unsafe practices on their end.
Now I really don’t mind the ads in apps if it’s the usual app ad, random products or Amazon type of things. But I hate it when every ad is a boomer ass clickbait ad about how solar energy is definitely worse than anything else.
This is my main complaint about sync right now and it might push me to stop using it again as the ads are also very frequent…
I’m not a heavy lemmy user yet (been busy playing Baldur’s Gate 3, woo!) but I’ve had Sync for Lemmy since the day it released, it’s up to date, and I have not seen a single ad yet. I’m using a Oneplus Nord N20, and I don’t have any adblockers installed, except the add-on in my Firefox app. Is it just me?
I believe ads are only showing in certain views. The more compact views like List which I use, does not have any ad support lol. When I swapped to the larger cards view I immediately saw ads there.
That would explain it. I’ve been trying to figure out why I never saw an ad
I’ve been binging on Balders Gate, I’m at like 11 hours now lol. Btw try to get the animal speak skill as soon as you can, you’ll miss a ton of content otherwise.
Nice!!! :) I got it! I’m playing a barbarian tiefling, and had to make friends with Scratch! Such a good boy!
