I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It’s stayed around that percent the whole time too!
EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA

I’ve been using systemwide adblock on all my electronics for years now so I forget that in app ads are a thing. But yeah, I see your point. They do offer a one time purchase to remove ads.
Me too, which makes Sync an endless scroll of black squares where ads should be. No thanks, Connect it is.
You might need a better adblocker. With AdGuard I see an empty box from time to time. It’s in the colour of the background.
That still looks horrible
You can pay to hide it completely.
I know, i would pay for it (as I did buying the reddit pro and dev versions) but I don’t consider that it has a fair price and I don’t support subscription models either.
I’m happy hopping between connect and eternity. Boost beta is coming next week as well, so I’m not worried at all.
Scrolling through those black spaces is for sure a bad user experience for me, but to each his own

You can also use something like RethinkDNS for a customized DNS ad blocking. I use AdAway on my phone.
That’s just not true. I dont think you understand how DNS blocking works

My pihole also blocks all the ads
Not the placeholders though
It would be really interesting to watch a video proving it
It’s good we have plenty of options. I’m going to try Boost as well because it’s the app that really hooked me to reddit and in the end it brought me to lemmy. Although Sync has been so great there’s no guarantee I switch. And if Boost released earlier, I probably wouldn’t even tried Sync. Let’s see them compete. Or collaborate. Or both.
that’s what I see without an adblocker
Maybe it’s this?
Settings shortcut: Privacy > Revoke GDPR consent for ads
I use nextdns and I don’t see any blank squares. It just looks like it’s ad free.
Suggestions on adblock for system?
Use a pihole as your DNS server. Applies to all the devices in your network.
Well for my phone I used RethinkDNS before I rooted it again. After rooting I use AdAway.
