Lemmy is funded by Patreon/Liberapay.... Which are essentially subscriptions

  1. their default model isnt based on ads like sync for lemmy

  2. a third party client isnt as much work as the fediverse as u see it took him a month

3)ads used to be a one time payment for his old app, so the money was enough for him back then and now hes even richer so why do you excuse his greediness?

It took him a month because he adapted a code base he had been working on for a decade.

It's not greediness to want to be able to pay your bills. This is his job. Also a single payment option has already been developed it's just not made in live yet.

He was already paying his bills with the one time payment and now hes even richer, this is the definition of greediness. Also his future plans are irrelevant here I am judging his current actions and the OP comment defending them.

PS, weird how the no ads feature takes longer to develop than the recurring payment with 10 features, INCLUDING the no ads one!

Why do you assume he's rich?

I said rich-ER buddy, how did you miss the one word? One time payment was enough when he had even less money back when he didnt have the reddit money yet so theres no excuse to hide no ads option behind a subscription model, especially for a foss platform, its not like its a reddit client and pays for api

Sync for reddit also had a subscription model

Which didnt have the no ads offer, which is what my one time payment is referring to.

Sync for Lemmy v25 already has a one time purchase

2.5x the price of the original sync app until a month ago, I retract my greediness comments

One-time payment is already implemented. Update in the Play Store if you cannot see it. The "Remove Ads" button is below the settings.

Who cares if he is rich. He is making a good product and people want that product. He can charge whatever he wants, there is no point taking it personally. If you don't want to pay, there is no one forcing you - you can even continue to use the app for free if you want.

Sure he can charge whatever, I'm just calling out his greediness idk what's your point

If getting paid for the work you do that people are willing to pay for is greedy, then yes I suppose he is greedy, and so are everyone else who works for a living and try to up their earnings.

If getting paid for the work you do that people are willing to pay for is greedy

Not charging more than double the price of his product in the span of one month equals to not supporting people get paid, lets end this convo here since u wanna troll ( im nice and dont assume your reading comprehension is that bad instead)

That's fine, we can agree to disagree.

Its fine if u feel like paying 2.5x more money for the same features in the span of one month, just dont push your bs onto others

I don't know what you mean by paying 2.5x in the span 1 month.

I also paid for Sync Ultra for Reddit if you are referring to that app.

the permanent ad free option, which now costs 2.5x more, but I cant oppose it or the dev will go hungry apparently

You can voice your opinion and others can voice theirs too. I don't see an issue here.

Ad 2.
Tell me you know nothing about software development without telling me you know nothing about software development

Charging 2.5x more in the span of one month for the same feature is the essence of software development and people cheer u for it? Sheesh im in the wrong business
