I'm fine with a price increase, but 4 times the price is quite the increase. Haven't made up my mind if it's worth it for me yet, if it was 5€ or maybe 10€ I would have immediately bought it.
The userbase is also like 100x smaller yet it takes the same amount of upkeep as a developer. Of course he is going to charge more and that is fair enough imo.
Ultimately if you don't like it, don't pay it.
I sure as hell like the app, but the issue of lemmy user base being smaller goes both ways unfortunately. I mean it makes sense for him to ask for more money to make up for it, but also at the same time it's less worth it because Lemmy's communities aren't nearly as active as their reddit counterparts. I'll probably use the app for a couple months and then pay to remove ads if I end up using it enough for the ads to annoy me.
Yeah and I think that's a fair take. I think most people are probably in a similar boat. I'm not willing to commit much money to Lemmy because it's such a new and untested platform so we will see.
For me so far I've yet to see a single advert on Sync anyway so I'm not exactly sure where they are supposed to be in the first place.
“don’t like it, don’t pay for it” is fine, too many folks seem to have a “don’t like it, don’t bitch about it” attitude and that fucken sucks.
Agreed, $10 would've been an insta buy.
At $20 I guess maybe I'll get it once v1.0 comes out, we'll see.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
