andrr_464It was 15 euros earlier today, what happened?
Ljdawson (Sync dev)I added the new price tiers based on user feedback on here after launching.
It’s more like blackmail tbh. “Pay or i’ll track the shit out of you and sell the data to advertisers”. I can see why people are put off, and I am also.
Gawd, tinfoil hats are in season!
How’s it tinfoil hat? It’s very clear how much tracking is going on if you don’t subscribe. None of this stuff is made up.
Then don’t use it if that bothers you. It’s not blackmail lol
There’s a difference between “There’s a lot tracking happening if you don’t pay!” and “What’s the guarantee you don’t track us if we pay?” and that difference comes in the form of a hat… Made of tinfoil…
Notice how it was a question? See this ‘?’
I think he meant your last part. You say there is a chance that LJ will collect and sell data, although you paid for premium. That’s a unnecessary accusation.
My last part was a question, not an accusation.
We call that JAQing off and it’s never just a question.

Wtf are you even smoking?
If the dev tells you “information gathering is deactivated for users who pay.” you won’t believe them, you’ll just move the goalpost and ask that they prove it by releasing their code, which they won’t do because their app isn’t open source and you’ll conclude that because they won’t prove it then we should just assume that they do.
That’s JAQing off and that’s exactly where you were heading with that first question. Guilty until proven innocent, but you don’t accuse directly, you’re Just Asking Questions.
You’re really overthinking this buddy and making a lot of assumptions. And not to mention wasting your own damn time.
I’m eating yours at the same time so it’s not a bad trade-off 🙂
People have checked. The only data collection is for ads, and it doesn’t load the module at all if you have ads disabled.
I’m not the one that needs convincing!
starlingukI've seen a lot of websites do the same thing. Either allow cookies or pay
That’s totally reasonable from the point of view of a developer who has to earn something to live. I mean you still have the choice to not use it. The internet simply works through user tracking and advertising
