For fucking real. $100 is laughably dumb and you all know it. All you Sync dick suckers in this thread have lost your minds.
DOWNLOAD FUCKING THUNDER OR LIFTOFF OR JERBOA HOLY HELL. DONATE TO YOUR LOCAL INSTANCE BEFORE SUPPORTING THIS CANCER CLOSED SOURCE FRONTEND.
Edit: Oh my, if you're going to downvote me, please provide an argument. This pricing is so detached from reality and you guys know it. This app is sapping your data (read the privacy policy), remaining closed source, and profiting off a community built entirely off the back of volunteers and sharing. Keep seething, but this app does not deserve this amount of money. Period.
There is nothing to argue with. You are bashing a program without any correct facts. Its like watching an anti vaxer demand facts about why the microchips are sterilizing the penguins. It only makes sense in your head.
FYI lifetime Ad free is 12 bucks. Ultra lifetime is something else entirely.
20 bucks
You're right. Your local instance deserves that money more so than any app. Maybe if there was a revenue share I could get behind it but not like this.
You should head to the discord. People there literally choking on dev's balls, it's insane.
Your point is correct. While I love the UX and UI, the data collection is a fucking disgrace. Good thing I know how to block trackers, as I'm going to use a patched version of the app as soon as somebody releases one.
You will attract the fanboys base. But, I second this. People should give the same amount of money to an instance before giving to these closed apps. Without the instances, they couldn't use the apps.
Why assume that people paying for an app haven't already donated to an instance or two?
I'm not assuming. My point is that the dev has to share the revenues with the instances. Without instances, the app is useless. It's not the case so users should give the same.
The other point is that a paid third party client adds a layer what makes the instances less visible. This lack of visibility can lower the donation. Also, you will end with one or two people thinking they pay for the app and so for the instances.
A reminder is always good.
