What it change

You can now make a one-time purchase to remove ads. You can find the option below the account switcher.
£19 OTP! WTF! Ljdawson tell me this is a mistake…
I paid £12.99?
That’s not the “Remove Ads” option. Press the Lemmy icon and it’s under there.
Ahhh, 18.99 I see, bit steep to remove ads. What is going on with the monetisation of this app
I paid £12.99. Maybe they increased it after I purchased.
Sync for reddit was probably my most used app of all time. €20 is a steal.
It did not cost me $26 CDN. Maybe $8.

Hi fellow Canadian! Tell me, how much has your grocery, gas, and rent prices increased?

Notice how everything is more expensive? And you expect a developer to keep up with old pricing?

Inflation is awful. Gas as gone up 18%. Food about 20%. But $8 to $26 is a percentage increase of 225%.

I don’t find your example valid, sorry.

which makes a $20 app purchase wayyyyyyy harder to swallow imo. I bought lifetime ultra since I got so many years of sync for Reddit for like $2, but I can definitely see how it’s a hard sell for most
