    $115 for the Lifetime subscription? You must be fucking joking, I paid $35 last year for the Lifetime subscription to Reddit. The guy has changed probably ~10% of the code base to use a different site’s API, this is just greed. Tis off to Mobilism I go for the cracked version so, cheers

      I hope he makes it so you can restore the old purchase. Right now it says that it can’t find any previous purchases for me, but I also bought lifetime ultra on the reddit app.

        It’s possible, but if he’s suddenly charging $115 for something that was $35 and that also kinda gets you less then he’s not exactly thinking logically. Or maybe he knows something about market forces that I don’t? Charge triple the price and offer “less” and maybe the people will come?

        He’s a talented dev and I’ve been a long time supporter but he’s really shitting the bed here

          Reddit = 60000000 daily active users

          Lemmy = maybe somewhere between 50k and 100k daily active users? I feel like that’s being generous

          It’s just economies of scale. He’s selling to a much smaller market

            Yeah, don’t forget about the grueling six weeks of development time too, it’s practically Dickensian

            This isn’t a divorce proceedings, a judge hasn’t mandated that I keep Lawrence in the lifestyle that he’s become accustomed to. Not am I responsible for his bottom line, and tripling prices is probably going to hurt him because I assume a lot less people are going to pay it, just because it’s triple the price for a lot less

            Plus people who are inclined to get these lifetime subscriptions probably did already in the Reddit app 13 months ago so they’re a little pissed off about that too, I would imagine. And the fact there has been no attempts to offer discounts or whatever. It’s a swizz

            I don’t give a shit about $115, it’s easy to make $115. It’s just the principle. $50 might be different? I wouldn’t need to think too long before buying that. Or $50 if you had a Reddit Lifetime subscription maybe
