I was eagerly waiting to be able to pay to remove ads, but this pricing really struck me by surprise, was expecting it to be closer to the old pricing, but instead it’s like 4-5 times higher? Enough of a price increase to make me think twice, instead of immediately buying it like I was planning to.
I always pay to remove ads from apps I use, as opposed to using blockers, to support the devs, but this is the first time ever I see it cost this much.
Honestly, if you’re paying to support the dev, ads won’t even needed to be added to the app.
While I do like Sync and Laurence, your argument is far from the truth, there are people that will think about paying just to remove the ads. Supporting the dev will be just the bonus there.
Edit:
Also valid to say that a smaller user base don’t suddenly mean that you have to charge more, that thinking is, in all honesty, mind boggling to me.
It is only $12.99 to remove ads; the subscriptions also remove ads, but add extra features that you may not need
It’s 22usd here to remove ads
Yeah, 22 Euros here as well. A little too much for just removing ads…

You’re paying to support the dev. The ad removal is just a bonus, you could do that by other means.
The Lemmy community doesn’t even compare to Reddit’s. Of course it’d charge more. Well worth it though, Sync is fantastic.

Especially since Sync Pro (the ad-free version) for Reddit was like, less than 5€

How do I remove the ads without the ultra subscription? I can only see the full ultra suite options.
