  • You guys shit the bed. Shiess the bed. Whatever you sourkraut fuckers want to call it. It would have been easier to set yourselves on fire in a bunker. Fascism is as fascism does. Tell us “it’s for the greater good”. You’re just cutting away the undesirables. You admins do so much for our own good and we should be grateful you know so much better than we do. That’s why you have all those updoots

    $100 for an app is a cash grab no matter how you slice it. Period. End of discussion. $20 for ad free is arguable, but it’s way more donation than actual financial support of the devs. That’s what the ads are for. So yeah, imo asking for donations on top of ad revenue is grabbing for cash. The $100 version isn’t even debatable

    Asking for $20-100 for an ad free experience and then couching it in terms of “devs gotta eat” is the cash grab. That’s why there are ads in the first place. The point I’m making is that trying to make it into a guilt trip is sleazy. There are all kinds of free, ad free alternatives. I’d personally recommend liftoff. They don’t have ads and they’re not out here trying to imply I’m taking food out of their mouth for using the app without “donating”.

    Everybody in here is freaking out about devs having to eat are entirely missing the point that the devs are already eating thanks to ad revenue they introduced into their own app. Having to pay to remove ads isn’t supporting the dev because the dev is already supporting themselves with ads. Call the cash grab a cash grab if you want, but understand that this is what it is.
