    $20 to remove ads on an app I’ll probably use daily seems to be fair price, from my perspective. But the subscription rubs me the wrong way.

      For a lifetime price of 40 or 50 I’d probably have just bought it and hoped the dev eventually adds /KBin support. For 110 it’s off the table for me altogether and I’m not a fan of subscriptions.

      With that said, I’ve never used this app that I remember on Reddit, so, maybe it is worth it??? I’d probably happily consider a lifetime price of that much if Relay got ported (and basically consider it back pay for getting like 6 or 7 years out of it for like 4 bucks).

      It seems like either the dev is planning on the app running forever and wanting to not make the mistake of charging a couple bucks for a forever license OR they don’t expect it to last and need to get as much $ as they can up front. Either way, I wish them the best of luck. Since I’m not a Lemmy user, I won’t be buying, at that price.
