What happened to Boost for Lemmy?
What happened to Boost for Lemmy?
It was announced back in June but I haven't heard anything about it since.
You're viewing part of a thread.
It sure is if you don't want a monthly subscription
The one time payment to remove ads costs 17€. It's not cheap but it's nowhere near 135€.
Eh, I think they're talking about ultra
Yes ultra. 135$ Canadian. An insane rip off for an app, made to deter you from buying it in favor of the monthly sub
I mean, yeah, obviously the dev would rather people pay the subscription when some of the Ultra features require server work and/or continued costs (translation, OCR, etc.).
Developing Sync is his full time job, which is why it initially shipped without a lifetime tier. People voiced their opinion and the dev listened by adding the lifetime option and the ad free option. If you don't like the pricing, use a different app. Nobody is forcing you to use Sync. LJ doesn't owe you the app for free (or any price outside of what he feels is fair).
But you don't need ultra to have a fully functioning app. If you want to pay nothing you can. If you just want to remove ads forever it's £17.
Ultra is meant to be a premium experience.
It replicates an option the dev offered on his reddit app that added extra features.
The free app is damn good (especially if you use AdBlock DNS) but it's almost certainly worth paying the $20 to remove ads permanently.
That option was cheaper on the reddit version of his app but it was well worth it.
$20 is still pretty cheap for no ads. That's less than two months of a streaming service
