      $20 one time for a well developed app that I use multiple hours a day is inexpensive.

      I pay almost as much to multiple streaming services PER MONTH for a shitty experience and sometimes not a completely ad-free experience.

      Anyway, in all honesty I chose the $1.99/mo because it gives the dev $24/yr into perpetuity. I also donate to instances. I also use Connect and Jerboa and Liftoff. It’s whatever.

      God forbid you have to can pay for stuff if you want.

      It’s a third party app. One of many. With an optional purchase to support the dev. Honestly…

      But reddit asking to be paid for use of their API was the end of the world for these devs lol

        No, reddit demanded ludicrously high fees at barely 30 days notice. It gave nobody any time at all to figure out alternative monetization strategies. Many of the third party apps had expressed their willingness to pay, but that was just absurd
