I like a good UX - eviltoast

Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

UX = user experience

    The lemmy user base is tiny compared to reddit, so the price is higher.

    We also seem to be willing to pay it. Personally, I think it’s worth it

      As long time sync user I’m very disappointed I didn’t see the remove ads button before I went and signed up for ultra. Wish I could still buy the permanent ad free while being an ultra subscriber. I tie my ultra to my Google play balance and depends on how much opinion rewards decides to give me at any given time.

      It may just be a matter of perspective, but to me, fewer users and content should equal lower price, not higher. I understand what you mean about them not getting an equal amount of money from the user base since there are fewer users, but by that same token, those users are getting less content through the app due to the same reason.

      Seems like it balances out where both sides should expect less until things pick up over time.

        Supply and demand works the opposite of that. When there’s a niche market then things always cost more. It’s why my baddragon velocoraptor dildo cost me my second mortgage.
