Same purchase was a lot cheaper when it was Reddit.
Reddit already ran ads, so having an app who ran ads of its own was fine.
Monoteizing a FOSS project in a way that doesn’t help the maintainers of that project may not be seen as ethical.
Having a subscription for features that don’t cost anything to serve (highlighting users can be done locally for instance) might feel like an artificial limitation to drive sales.
The fact that it launched with both a transaction (not a small one, as it costs more than any non-professional app I bought) and a subscription service in literally the first beta of the app.
Combination of these with all the alternatives being all-free (both in price and as in freedom) might make people think few times before paying for this app.
Personally, I really dislike the price, find subscription meh but I absolutely adore Sync’s UX. But honestly, without few things changing, I don’t see myself recommending Sync to friends.
So get the fuck out of here and fuck off. All this hate from you dumb fucks is annoying. Feeling like Reddit in here with stupidity.

Well said and reasoned. The vitriol above however, not so much. [Edit] Spelling.
