    No one is calling you a cheapskate. It’s just that when you said this:

    its not a noble cause to pay some dude who made an app we dont need

    …in context, it comes off as “Sync is not necessary to exist, therefore no one should pay him.”

    I understand what you mean now, but you worded it terribly.

    And by the way, going around in the comments being unnecessarily hostile and calling people “dumbfuck” or “asshole,” when they were just as confused at your poor phrasing, makes you come off as an asshole, so maybe work on that :)

      Dude read the comment I was replying to…

      I did not say any of those words. wtf. I didn’t word shit terribly, you just made stuff up.

      makes you come off as an asshole, so maybe work on that :)

      Whether or not this is passive aggressive, it sounds like it is, which makes you come off as an asshole, so maybe work on that :)

        He was definitely talking about people using the app and complaining that they can’t have it all for free. You’re not one of those people.

          The original post is about someone using a free app (the web app). They check out Sync and see that it has ads and costs money otherwise, and that cost has no regional pricing (apparently). So they continue to use the web app. It’s a fair complaint and it doesn’t make them a cheapskate. Doesn’t have anything to do with other people’s choices. Doesn’t mean the dev is an evil person. It’s a just a bruh moment they had.

            Sure, but the comment you were replying to was talking about people using the free version of sync. They didn’t say people are cheapskates because they don’t want to pay for an app they don’t use.

              i said don’t need not don’t use. its such a ridiculous comment to call people cheapskates. this defence of Sync is wild in these comments.

                You said you’re not using the app. I’m not defending sync, just clarifying. You’re taking it personally but it wasn’t actually directed at you at all.
