It's at that point in the process when I close out of the app and delete it.
- That’s what I did.
I get it, people gotta make a living. But that is seriously scummy design 😒
bean is planning to charge $50 for lifetime lol
- I understand people charging for their apps.
  This feels like something else. Like, it feels like a way to rip off people that don’t pay attention to what they’re signing up for.
  
  Right, $10 sure go for it, $15 maybe if its something spectacular. But $20? $50? lmao
I can recommend Ivory, it's from the same developers that made Tweetbot.
Subscription price is $1.99 per month or $17.99 per year, which I think is somewhat justified. Yes, one-time payments are usually my preference, but as a developer I understand that keeping an app for a social network up-to-date is a huge task that never really stops.
Fucking gross behaviour that. I hope the app crashes and burns for that predatory shite.
From reading the comments here why are there so many ios mastodon apps with subscriptions
Mastodon is FOSS ffs
