Perhaps when you create your own app you can determine your own cost model.

"Dont judge politicians unless youre one of them" nice mindset bro

If you'd like to have a real conversation, I'm willing. If you want to pretend to argue things no one claimed, you're on your own.

I tried an analogy since you didnt see the fallacy of your point, that failed too I guess, telling me dont judge the dev unless youve been in their shoes would mean u cant judge politicians either, I can and should have opinion on stuff regardless

Again, point me to where I said don't judge. I didn't. Judge away.

If you look at my post again, you'll find that I tried to suggest that when you make your own app (and you should), you should decide on your cost model which sounds like it'll be free. I eagerly await your release!

Not replying to my points and telling me I wait for your app is called an ad hominem, is this how you reply to people in real life?

So what is your point exactly? That you shouldn't charge for software you develop to access a free network? There are plenty of free solutions for you.

Yes not paying for a subscription to remove ads like the original sync app = not getting paid, youre already making up arguments so go ahead and make up my reply too why bother asking me

politicians are meant to be judged devs are meant to be criticized just for improvement, you can just use another app

Sure? I only criticized ill stick to liftoff since theres only subscription option

he has literally said he will add an one time payment

current comments defend his current actions so no opinion on that until it happens.

PS: weird how the no ads option takes more time to develop than the subscription option with 10x features, INCLUDING the no ads one !

it is still in beta, you can't charge someone 30 euros for something that might fail or stop

30$? That's only 6x the original ad-free sync price, I take all my greediness comments back !

sync for reddit price (there was a pro version too) as you can see the price is reasonable. Where did you find a 6x increase?

You're showing the price for sync ultra, he's referring to the price for ad-free sync, which was like $2-3

You are comparing the old simple "Remove Ads" option to Sync Ultra features.

The new "Remove Ads" without additional features costs 14,99 €. Which, yes, is more expensive than before, but that was to be expected. The old price would have been way too cheap for today's pricing situation, especially since he also lost most of his userbase.

"today’s pricing situation" u mean 2 months ago? Also "hes lost most of his userbase"

selling 50$ tshirt for 500$ because there are less customers and I want even less what is this argument lmfao

The price was set many years ago and just never changed.

Also yes, less customers means less income for mostly the same amount of work. That is literally why bigger companies can offer cheaper prices. Scale.

What scale dev doesnt have a factory theres no production, company size doesnt matter

That was in response to your comparison with t-shirts.

And yes, scaling does not work in the same way for app development. A large part of the required work for app development stays the same, regardless of how many actual users there are (excluding server costs (-> Sync Ultra) and probably the amount of support tickets). But since Sync has way less users now, there has to be more income per user for it to be profitable.
