I mean the dev spent his time building it, why shouldn’t he show ads on it? Software = work.

Jerboa, Voyager, Thunder, Liftoff, Combustible and Eternity all don’t have ads

I tried the same argument here. Don’t bother. They don’t want to see it.

No, we see it - it’s just dumb. Having a free as in freedom and beer set of clients is great for lemmy - but also having market driven clients available is healthy for catering to individual preferences. Boost existing isn’t your problem - clients that you like exist and please go enjoy them. I’m not certain why you’re lurking here, is it just out of masochism? The person you’re replying to at least put out helpful information about the application.

More choice is a good thing and four dollars for an app forever is extremely reasonable.

Because people donated their time to make them. You can’t blame anyone for not doing that.

There are free pc games as well, and paid ones. Free movies, and paid ones. Heck you can probably get a car for free, but most people prefer to pay for one. You can use the free apps all you want.

I’ve used them all and even considered staying with voyager. But after one hour of using boost I uninstalled all of them.

I worked my way through just about every Reddit client available for Android and Boost was the only one that wasn’t super annoying. I’m happy to support development of an app that I use every day, especially if it wouldn’t be available at all otherwise.
