This feels like something else. Like, it feels like a way to rip off people that don’t pay attention to what they’re signing up for. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] barrybeebenson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Right, $10 sure go for it, $15 maybe if its something spectacular. But $20? $50? lmao permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jaybirrd@lemmy.world 14 points 3 years ago Sure that's high, but I don't think that's quite what makes this truly asshole design though. It's that the trial is on a weekly subscription of $4.99 when a year is only $9.99. $4.99/week for a year is $259.48 which happens to be 2,597% more expensive than the annual subscription. They are hoping people select the trial and forget about it while they rake in an astronomical amount for a third party app for an open source social network. permalink fedilink source parent
