3rd-party Reddit app devs: "Reddit is so greedy! We’re leaving! … Hey guys, pay me $17 per year for a gateway to a free service that I have nothing to do with! … Too high? Fine! Pay me $20 for the portal for the free service if you want it without ads!
Couldn’t be more obvious you have no clue how much work app development and support are.
Everyone’s free to use whatever they want. Not sure why it’s necessary to shame a one-man dev team that spends countless personal hours to make an excellent product, for needing some income for doing so.
$17 for all the extra feature is not high imo. $20 for basic app is, it makes the subscription model much more appealing and i bet that’s what he’s going for.
You spoke as if Sync is the only way to access Lemmy, which is not the case. People who find value on Sync will pay it, and people who don’t won’t buy it. No one is forced to pay for the app against their will.

When he realized he couldn’t continue with reddit he asked us, his users, what to do. We asked him to make a port for Lemmy.
Great. By all means, give him $17/yr. I will continue to laugh at you about it in here for FREE.
I mean do what you want. I pay for a lot of shit just to support devs.
