Because people think the paid alternative is better and worth its money? This is so blatantly obvious, that you do not appear to try and engage in a good faith conversation.
Yeah, I said the same thing in another post. They’re downvoting me as well. It seems these kids love burning money on things other people get for free.
I say, let them. They think they’re getting a value and no one is getting hurt. Sure, it’s dumb, but it’s the harmless kind of dumb.
So, you are in the tribe that likes to visit communities for a product that the majority of its members are obviously enthusiastic about to tell them how stupid they are and then wonder about the backlash?
You know, if you were honestly interested in understanding peoples' motivations to use and pay for Boost, it would be very easy to ask for it without harvesting downvotes. The way you phrase your comments simply suggests, that you're not interested in that at all. Which leads to the question: Why are you here? What do you (expect to) get out of it?
Maybe tone it down with the insults and you won't get downvoted? It is kind of ironic that you refer to everyone paying for Boost as kids. Your comment screams IMMATURITY!
If you were honestly interested in why people spent money on Boost you could ask along the lines of:
"What does Boost for Lemmy offer that other clients don't so you think it's worth to spend ~3,50$ on it?"
I'm not going to bother to look up your comments. But I'm quite confident that, if I were to look, the phrasing would be nothing like that.
What have I said that was insulting? Please point this out to me.
Seriously?

And I don’t have to ask. I know it’s the exact same as the other apps I mentioned.
Then why are you here? Just to tell people that they are dumb kids?
I can’t imagine getting so butthurt over someone else’s opinion of an app. If I were you, I’d seek more worthy priorities or your adulthood is going to suck.
I’m going to go ahead and block you now as this is a waste of time.
