So, nothing to be afraid of or be angry at

That's the wrong IAP.

One time ad removal is $20 or less

That's the price for ultra lifetime. Ad remover one time purchase is $20

Sync for Lemmy doesn't have trackers and the one time purchase is $20

It's $20

No, it's per Google account like any other IAP

Living in a first world country is not "privilege" there are people who didn't choose where to be born.

Just use the free app like I did when I lived in Venezuela (I was born there)

There's no tracking in Sync

Lmao the scrolling in Jerboa is so fucking disgusting

Yeah no, Apollo was native, Vogager isn't

Is Infinity fully compatible with foldables and tablets? Sync even has tabs for open posts (like a browser) when it's opened in tablet mode

So?

Sync for Lemmy v25 already has a one time purchase

The competition is nowhere near as good tho

Sync for reddit also had a subscription model

This is the only source of income for the developer

By definition the ads the app uses are not spyware, therefore it is a fact.

Google Play Services by definition is not spyware, again, fact.

Not everything that tracks users is spyware, I'm really hating this place being anti everything that is not FOSS...

He relies on the instance up time

Objectively, ads are not spyware, thats a fact. Objectively, Google is not a spyware either, thats a fact regardless of your opinion. Every instance has their own servers, right now lemmy.world is super slow, earlier they disabled comments to mitigate an attack. Sync relies on your instance being reachable to work.

1. LJ is not using spyware
2. He's offering a paid version right now, subscription based. There's talks about an ad free IAP in the short term future
3. IMHO I don't see a one time purchase viable if a developer wants to live from just one app (and has to rely on external servers for the app to work)
