    I’m fully for supporting ljdawson and this app - the former version of which I’ve also purchased.

    So, I was really surprised when I saw that the gdpr consent form had some of the worst dark patterns with the opt-out “legitimate interest” for each party.

    The first time I was so excited to have sync again, that I just confirmed selection. Stupid of me. Second time, I spent minutes opting out of each individual party’s “legitimate interest” - after giving consent.

    No idea what this means or if ljdawson knew (he’s the dev though), but this really soured my experience.

    I think I’ll still purchase, but this sucks.

    Edit: I’ve since purchased the ad-free version. I want to give ljdawson the benefit of the doubt and maybe also chalk this up to the beta state. I just quite dislike dark patterns.
