I'm not trying to say it's unreasonably priced, but that comparison with YouTube is not really fair. Delivering video content is an incredibly expensive service

I'm not paying a subscription and the first ad I see I'm uninstalling it.
Sync pro was my go to for reddit, but I refuse to pay for a subscription.

I paid for ultra mainly to support the Dev. Lemmy isn't good enough for me to switch over just yet but I'll be keeping my eye on it now that Sync for Lemmy exists.
Immediately bought Ultra. Monthly basis and thankfully set it up with my Google Play balance. So glad I use Google Rewards to help out!
Feels like reuniting with an old friend!
How about, you know, Sync Pro again? I'd gladly pay one time to remove ads, but I'm not doing subscriptions.
Had some Google Play balance, supported the dev. This is already the best Lemmy app by far.
I just bought a lifetime license for Sync. The customization, feature set, and options put it well above the 5 other Lemmy apps I've used. With almost a decade of consistent upgrades to Sync for Lemmy, I trust and support this developer.
I don't think I paid very much for the original version so I don't mind supporting him now but I understand that's not for everyone, so I think $20 for lifetime ad-free is very reasonable.
20usd? It's 15000 jpy for me.. That's like 120usd for lifetime. Hard to justify that for an app tbh.

Excuse me? People can barely afford food. A huge chunk of the population will never own their own home. Everyone is asking for tips and wages are not going up. Why pay for something when I can access it for free right now? Sure they may have worked hard to make an app, but it's not my job or responsibility to pay them for a service that I get for free. I'm not paying $1.50 a month to have what my current app has. That's stupid.

Too late, already did
Does the subscription also partly fund the instances I subscribe to (lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc servers)? If so then I'm onboard
At present, I don't think it does, which is a shame.

I don't know though, I feel like giving money to an app for Lemmy would kind of be like supporting the wrong person. Especially if you haven't even donated to your instance's owner yet.
