So many people instantly shelling out 20$ (or 100$ "lifetime subscriptions") the moment an app releases in beta, then immediately bragging about it in comments. I'm using Sync right now and it's cool, but calm tf down people. There's a lot of sunk-cost and weird app tribalism going on.

Also this dev must have made some serious bank in 24 hours, holy smokes

As is often the case, I think a lot is driven by fans digging in and doubling down in response to the vocal haters.

It's also because I used Sync Pro on Reddit for 10 years, and this is the same exact experience with Sync for Lemmy! I bought Pro something like $3 10 years ago and $20 today. The developer is pretty good.
