For the amount of hours a week I spent in Sync for Reddit and the price I paid then for removing ads, I feel that 20 euros is cheap to remove ads in Sync for Lemmy and would have paid more.
However I understand the price might feel steep up front for new users. An initial trial without ads for a short while might be a solution, where users only start to see ads after using it for a bit so they can test run the app without being disturbed by ads.
Yeah, if Relay showed up with an app for KBin and wanted $30, I'd give it in a heartbeat, but being a long time user, I'd also feel like it's partially back pay for using it for years after only paying like $4
As it is, I'm really looking forward to Artemis launching and will probably do an equal donation of at least that much to its dev and to Ernest (/KBin social admin and /KBin dev).
The /KBin PWA isn't bad for what it is, but god damn do I miss using a proper app. At least y'all on Lemmy have options!
