I paid $1 for Reddit Sync Pro and used it for hours a day for 13 years. In that time the developer provided dozens of updates, multiple major overhauls, and continual usage of functionality that requires the developer to pay ongoing API fees to provide.
Sync for Lemmy pricing is exactly as much as it should be.
No, but I do pay for convenience and for an ad-free listening experience.
Isn't that one of the main justifications people give for piracy? That if it were affordable and convenient, people would just pay?
