Relay for Reddit app stays as one of the few remaining third party apps for Reddit and they are forced to go to a subscription model but the cost of such a subscription is related to how many API calls per user are done.
This screenshot was taken from the yet working patched Sync for Reddit app.
At least they have a subscription model based on fees incurred by accessing the reddit API. Sync for lemmy charging a monthly sub to remove the adds the creator put in.
You do know you can pay one time if you just want to remove ads. You’re here suggesting the dev should just work on the app for free or something?
According to what he replied to you, yes…
Relay has a reason to charge a monthly fee, and sync does not.
A developer wanting to get something in return for their work is a reason. It’s also an option for the user. Sync offers a one time payment for Ad Free and for their “Plus” features. It also has the option for a monthly subscription.
135$ for the full app… sync is like the star citizen of lemmy apps
That’s for Ultra, removing ads is $20.

Dude, I don’t care, I use Sync and pay no shit, but I would gladly do so when it gets more robust (and I already think it is one of the best).
We already have some great options, myself am rocking Voyager, Sync and Summit whenever I feel like to.
You are paying him with ad revenue
Yeah, I let AdAway rooted version and my PiHole handle that.
Sounds like a good system to get around the dark pattern
Dark pattern, care to elaborate?
