I hope he makes it so you can restore the old purchase. Right now it says that it can't find any previous purchases for me, but I also bought lifetime ultra on the reddit app.
It's possible, but if he's suddenly charging $115 for something that was $35 and that also kinda gets you less then he's not exactly thinking logically. Or maybe he knows something about market forces that I don't? Charge triple the price and offer "less" and maybe the people will come?
He's a talented dev and I've been a long time supporter but he's really shitting the bed here
Reddit = 60000000 daily active users
Lemmy = maybe somewhere between 50k and 100k daily active users? I feel like that's being generous
It's just economies of scale. He's selling to a much smaller market
Add perpetual maintenance and updates to your list... Just because the framework was already there doesn't mean there isn't value in the product and the dev can decide what his time and product are worth. Just don't buy it and use something free.
I don't think you've been making that point based on your statements.
