Or use one of the myriad of other ad-free apps?
I don't get the fanboi-ism, it didn't blow my socks off when I was on Reddit either. I used Slide and RIF.

I bought the top of the line Sync for Reddit when it finally rolled to the new look. Had 0 regrets.
For the amount of time I spent on (cough) reddit, the value I drew per dollar spent was solid. I got greater happiness from that than... alcohol, a nice dinner, or food delivery (which I never use).
But those are my points of comparison. Early in life, I worried about affording the next tank of gas or a large mechanical expense. During that period, ad free would be ambitious and top of the line would be... a family present to me around an important event. And how do you explain that?
It's the baseline and budget. Comparing to FOSS it may not rate. Comparing to a night out... I get more from the app over its lifetime.
If people can afford Sync, hopefully they (we) can afford to donate to keep the servers running?

It's a bit steep for my finances.
then just pay the onetime $20 to remove ads instead
PiHole ftw
I don't think it can display upvote and downvote counts separately. For me I consider that useful information. Also, my comments written while using it don't show in my profile, so it seems a little glitchy still. And it can't create posts yet. I'll stick with the kbin PWA for now.
Why would anyone pay for this while there are better alternatives?
If there are better alternatives, I have yet to find them. Much happier right now than I was with Jerboa or Voyager.

Because "better" is entirely subjective and some people probably disagree with you that the options you feel are better are actually better.
Anyone remember what the Ultra sub options were on the old version?
Lifetime was 33 โฌ. Not sure, but I think one year was 11 โฌ.
Damn. I was pretty sure I had lifetime, and I would have at that price. Highly unlikely I'll be purchasing lifetime again.
