I'm sorry. I get a developper needs to eat but 100+ dollars for the lifetime is absolutely outrageous. That is more than some AAA games on release.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

For some people, that's the price they paid for their entire low/mid-range Android phone.

That's for ultra which requires server costs. Ad free lifetime price is more reasonable (in some countries).

Server costs are nothing compared to what a lot of Lemmy instance admins are covering right now. The new price feels like robbery, as someone who got sync the first year it came out.

I would definitely contribute to my instance first but that's still not an available option on my preferred one

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't see the option for just ad free?

[–] can 1 points 1 year ago

It pushed out a few hours after the open beta.make sure you're up to date.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not disagreeing here with your sentiment, but I don't think comparing it to the cost of a AAA game matters. I'm sure you'll spend more time in Lemmy over the course of a lifetime than on one game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yup this is way over the top for some reason. $50 is more reasonable and I would still hesitate. It's a good app but there are many others too.

Plus its not clear if they still wont be selling our data to third party after premium !

Yeah, fuck him. Long time paying and vocal supporter here. I'll get the cracked version on Mobilism when it's released
