I paid โฌ2.51 to remove ads on Sync for Reddit. I would have spent maybe a tenner but it's over โฌ20 for the Lemmy app. As much as I love Sync, that's a big nope from me.
Remember, Lemmy has a lot less active users than Reddit. Even if ALL active Lemmy users on Lemmy.world buy the app at its original $2 price, it's still not enough to sustain full time development. Both higher one time purchase price and subscription is needed for the app's survival, even then I'm still not sure if it's enough for the dev to sustain themselves. I'm getting the ultra subscription for this reason because I don't want the app to go away, and I encourage people that really like the app to do so as well.
The userbase of Reddit is over 10x higher.
That's quite the understatement. 400 million vs 60,000 monthly active users.
But why male models?
I picked 10 cause the price was about 10x higher.
Monthly active users aren't counted the same. Lemmy only counts people who post or comment. Still a big difference, but 60,000 is not the entire userbase of Lemmy.
