It’s not just lemmy that’s benefiting from Elon Musk.

      It’s the reddit pricing swapped over exactly, I’m not outright against an independent app creator having a paid option, because it’s a very high quality app that deserves support, but I do feel it’s soo steep. There are also subscription options but I never take those, and the ads are reasonably unobtrusive.

        So the developer has no underlying API cost to justify it and is pocketing it all? Obviously they can charge what they want and people can spend their money however they like, but this seems like an absolute con!

          The developer is definitely pocketing it all, however they were very active on Reddit in maintaining and improving the app with the most quality of life options I’ve seen across any app. Honestly if the paid option was $10, I’d go for it, since I get hundreds of hours of use out of it. Also back in the reddit days, you could find the paid version for free online pretty easily.
