I love LJ's work and will happily remove ads from Sync when possible (even though my adblocker hides them anyway). I'm not very fond of buying Ultra, as I hate paying for something I won't use. Ironically I would rather make a recurring donation via Liberapay and get nothing out of it than pay for some functionality and feel uneasy about never using it, lol. I already support my home instance on Liberapay
The sub also gives a massive cut to Google, which is a waste of money
It's 15%, since LJ makes less than a million a year
This is the only part of ultra that actually bothers me. I'd much more happily pay a subscription if 100% went to the creator. But app stores remove any apps that tell you how to pay a different way. So there could be a way and the app simply isn't allowed to tell us.
