$115 for the Lifetime subscription? You must be fucking joking, I paid $35 last year for the Lifetime subscription to Reddit. The guy has changed probably ~10% of the code base to use a different site's API, this is just greed. Tis off to Mobilism I go for the cracked version so, cheers
I hope he makes it so you can restore the old purchase. Right now it says that it can't find any previous purchases for me, but I also bought lifetime ultra on the reddit app.
It's possible, but if he's suddenly charging $115 for something that was $35 and that also kinda gets you less then he's not exactly thinking logically. Or maybe he knows something about market forces that I don't? Charge triple the price and offer "less" and maybe the people will come?
He's a talented dev and I've been a long time supporter but he's really shitting the bed here
Reddit = 60000000 daily active users
Lemmy = maybe somewhere between 50k and 100k daily active users? I feel like that's being generous
It's just economies of scale. He's selling to a much smaller market
Yeah, don't forget about the grueling six weeks of development time too, it's practically Dickensian
True, pricing seems high considering most of the work was already paid for when it was a reddit client.
Imagine being this tilted over a dev wanting to make money after realizing he got hosed charging $30 for a lifetime.
I know right? What a cunt. Just pay triple ffs
