It would be a lot better if it was a true donation, since Lemmy itself doesn't have ads. The developer also has very minimal fees to cover, so it makes no sense to add ads ontop of a free service and have a steep price to remove it (yes, 20+ dollars for an app toconly remove ads is steep, look around at other app prices). This was not the case for Sync on Reddit, it was a lot cheaper.
It just seems unnecessarily greedy by the developer
Hey, man's gotta eat. And there's many roads to Rome if you really don't want to pay the developer to remove the ads.
Man's gotta eat, but he doesn't have to be gluttonous
Y'all are ridiculous. $20 is less than the median hourly wage in the US for both men and women, even worst case scenario you're earning $7.25 an hour so almost 3 hours of work to pay for ad free Sync. I challenge you to make a better app in those same 3 hours so you don't need to pay for it.
Not only are you paying for the app as it is now, you're paying for years if not DECADES of updates too. All done by ONE GUY.
If you don't like it, don't use it. Stop character shaming the dev for trying to make an honest living creating an app a LOT of people (including myself) wanted.
