Pretty much title!
I’d love to support the developer, but I don’t feel like dropping $100 right now.
Does it matter to the average user? I’m simply giving numbers to put into perspective the lengths people will go for an ad-free experience
When people buy premium, they’re not doing it to support Google’s servers, they’re paying to get rid of ads at a whopping $14 per month when they could be using the app for free
Yeah. It actually kinda does matter. Otherwise you may as well compare it to leasing a car. When you lease a car you no longer need to see ads on the train or bus.
You’re comparing the cost users are willing to pay to remove ads, but services like YouTube have to pay for things that Sync doesn’t. So the cost I might be willing to pay for YouTube Premium is different, as they’re fundamentally different products. There’s a hell of a lot more that goes into providing YouTube and Spotify, than there is to providing a UI wrapper for Lemmy.
Edit: You should be comparing the cost of Sync to other Lemmy apps. It’s interesting you jumped to a completely different service when there’s direct competitors to Sync you’ve ignored.
