True, pricing seems high considering most of the work was already paid for when it was a reddit client.
Imagine being this tilted over a dev wanting to make money after realizing he got hosed charging $30 for a lifetime.
I hope he makes it so you can restore the old purchase. Right now it says that it can't find any previous purchases for me, but I also bought lifetime ultra on the reddit app.
Reddit = 60000000 daily active users
Lemmy = maybe somewhere between 50k and 100k daily active users? I feel like that's being generous
It's just economies of scale. He's selling to a much smaller market
Add perpetual maintenance and updates to your list... Just because the framework was already there doesn't mean there isn't value in the product and the dev can decide what his time and product are worth. Just don't buy it and use something free.
I don't think you've been making that point based on your statements.
