The person you're replying to is a very interesting person indeed. They're a farmer, an electrician and looks like a fairly knowledgeable, low level programmer as well.

Honestly I rarely see ads on the app. I mostly get temu ads.
Go to most news sites and they're bombarded with shitty ads taking up 80% of the screen space
On sync I may be see 1 small ad per 10-15 posts, tops.
It's by far the nicest Lemmy app I've used on Android. I used to use sync for reddit too.
It's a no brainer for me.
These apps cost pocket change considering how expensive life is right now. I can't think of anything else where I get so much value out of so little.
We have to be willing to pay out of pocket to support a competition if we're not happy with the way reddit is making money.
Even if pro subscription carries over I'm still buying it again. Sync was the best android client!

That's their gameplan most of the time.
I wish the blackout was different.
Keep all the subs open, but suspend all but the sitewide rules.
All the subreddits would've been filled with off topic content, spam and advertising. It would've been far more annoying to the average user.
This is not sad. Progress is progress.
Good on EU to force their hand, we should be cheering for regulatory agencies making life better for consumers.
