    I paid $1 for Reddit Sync Pro and used it for hours a day for 13 years. In that time the developer provided dozens of updates, multiple major overhauls, and continual usage of functionality that requires the developer to pay ongoing API fees to provide.

    Sync for Lemmy pricing is exactly as much as it should be.

        Yeah that’s what happens when you receive abuse from the community over a new version of the app that you built for free

          What are you talking ‘built for free?’ A LOT of us paid for that abandoned app. If memory serves they charged for premium again after they redesigned it?

            Nope, I purchased “Reddit Sync” years before the redesign (which was not actually the first redesign) and the author did not introduce any new fees or make the improved interface a separate app that required purchasing or anything. Every once in a while major updates would come out at no additional cost. When the biggest update hit a small vocal subset of the community got upset because some people can’t stand change and harassed lj. Sync is only even the price it is because when the original ~$5 ad removal fee was floated on discord during the lemmy rewrite the community voiced that they would be willing to pay more since many of us felt we got more than we paid for out of the reddit version.
