You would make a great CEO. $2 to $20, a %1000 markup, and you attribute it to "times have changed.".
If it was 9.99 or something that would more than make up for the inflation + additional profits per purchase. The rest is greed. This is the exact reason people left reddit.
I think I bought the "ultra" version of the sync app for Reddit at like 5.99 for a lifetime. 16.99 for a year is ridiculous even counting for inflation. 9.99 for life seems reasonable.
Right now sync is taking on the Spez mentality. I hope it changes. Will come back if it does.
What percent goes to Lemmy devs? If it's a high portion (50%ish) then I'm on board.
