    The irony is, the price is going up instead of going down. How is in the world he based his decision on pricing.

        At some point of time , peopla got excited and paid in drove for Ultra. It signalled a good sign and that might fueled his decision to charge higher.

        I nearly bought it, but the come to my senses of how pricy it is. I really like Sync, it’s the smoothest app out there. But, I’ll wait a bit long, and for Boost - to see how it compares in terms of features and pricing. I might be on a double exodus - first from Reddit and then from Sync.

        BTW, I can’t reply to the other (kbin) user comment. Not sure if it is a bug. So I’ll paste it here.

        You have a point. Anyway, by doing so he will only be targeting a very niche group of users of an already very niche market. The move will definitely help to satisfy the needs of this small number of users but I doubt it will help the expand Lemmy’s market. I expect, which I could definitely be wrong, Sync market share will become stagnant for the coming future. Other apps will learn from this fiasco and offers much more reasonable pricing models, which in turn will hurt Sync more… Just my 5 cent.

          Yeah, i was ready to pay for one year ultra and then after 5 minute of use, i realized…wow, it’s barebone. It couldn’t even post! Not to mention not having 2 separate pinned icon, not having mod tools, not even able to view community, can’t see report, so on and on. If you’re an admin/mod, this mean you have to check with the browser ver for admin/mod stuff.

          The price is this way because there’s a bunch of diehard fan blowing smoke up his arse in discord.

      I don’t have any skin in the game, as I don’t use the app nor any other, but the userbase for the Fediverse is like a hundred times smaller than Reddit at least. The same work on Reddit that could earn $200 is only going to earn $2 here.

      I don’t know what the price should be, but it makes sense that it goes up.
