Yep it’s still a beta, that will be coming soon.

Lemmy Ultra = Sync Ultra
Lemmy Adfree = Sync Pro
The old app was simply too cheap, that’s that. One-off purchases for $2 are hardly sustainable for individual developers.
Adfree is 20 bucks, how is that insane?
That’s for ultra. Simple adfree is 20 for a lifetime.
The actual blockers were fixed in the first couple days, if not hours. We are now at beta 23 within just 10 days since the internal testing began, lj has been working like a madman.
IMHO whenever you actively need something and the owner either doesn’t make it available or the price is prohibitively expensive, it’s justified. That especially includes papers, books and other tuition material that’s been paywalled or made expensive as hell without any actual reason, even more so if the author gets next to no compensation.
Downloading series and movies that aren’t being streamed anymore, by all means.
When it comes to current movies, it depends on what’s available. Unfortunately most streaming platforms don’t have Chinese subtitles, and my wife often struggles to fully follow the original audio and the English subs often disappear too quickly.
For software, my personal stance is that if you use something every once in a while, pirate away. If you use it regularly and/or generate income from it, then pay your dues.
A mix of avira and malwarebytes locally, and virustotal if I’m especially sceptical.
