People want to get paid for their work? Shocking!

And other people don’t want nagging spyware ads? SHOCKING! You know, Twitter and Reddit developers also want to get paid. That’s why they killed free API access. Funny how you came to Lemmy anyway…

Comparing a solo dev to large corporations isn’t really convincing me.

That’s Google’s fault, not the dev’s. He’s just trying to make a living.

It’s a one time purchase if you do purchase it

I’ll consider it once Liftoff, Thunder, etc. are all dead…

I liked Liftoff, but as a Boost diehard, I’m happy to give the guy a couple bucks and pay him more than he would ever make from ads served to me. No skin off my nose.

For what it’s worth, I don’t get any ads in this App, so give it a shot.

It’s not for everyone for sure especially if you’re looking for something FOSS. I’d rather use a FOSS app, but it was my Reddit app of choice for a really long time and I’m happy to give the developer a one-time $3.50 purchase to have that experience back. I can barely tell I’m not on Reddit.

Even if it’s just a stopgap solution, I’m all for Reddit app developers porting to Lemmy. Right now the open-source Lemmy apps all lack a lot of polish, so having paid options that offers a more polished experience for people coming over from Reddit is a plus for the platform’s engagement as a whole.

Donate to the FOSS apps instead then.

Or pay the dude a couple dollars to disable any tracking and remove ads for life?

Why are you FOSS nerds so against paying people for their work?
