I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

They can get paid, but $20 for lifetime ad removal, and $130+ sync ultra whatever it's called?

That's not beer money like another commenter said, that's fraud and stealing money for barely anything to give for it.

    You know you don’t have to use it right?

    He made on of the best Reddit apps ever. Supported his app for like 10 years.

    20 is nothing.

    Oh yeah $20 is fine albeit a bit too much for ad removal but fine

    What I really have gripes with is the $130+ ultra thing. I saw that and noped the fuck outta that app and uninstalled it as quickly as I installed it.

    It also doesn't help that when I bought sync pro it was equivalent to or less than $10 and now he wants $20 for a basic ad removal? He's greedy.

    Dude, you don't have to buy ultra. It's for people who want bonus features and support the dev.

    This is like refusing to buy a Volkswagen because they also make Lamborghinis

    you don't have to buy ultra

    Then don't put it in the app. Simple as that.

    It's 2023, we're really debating over pricing in a FOSS Android app that just so happens to host a website/forum that just got popular only because people don't like the other main big internet forum?
