This isn’t my app, it just seems super cool as a way to pull together your own social media and news.

$80 for a lifetime subscription is reasonable for a well developed app without venture capital subsiding the cost.
Plexpass lifetime is $120.
Plex is owned by venture capitol now.
It’s a big part of why it’s been enshitiffing.
yep, migrated to emby a couple months ago. although I did use plex for long enough to get value out of the lifetime plex pass.
any particular reason you chose emby over jellyfin?
no Apple TV app and smaller QOL things like bulk editing of files.
$60 can buy you a lifetime license for the Affinity Designer 2, which is a fantastic alternative to Adobe’s Illustrator, which some people can’t live without. AFAIK, Serif isn’t backed by a venture capitalist as well. So, are you still happy paying $20 more for a social media app?
Like, look, I get that we should support devs for what they do, especially if they don’t take venture capitalist money to sell their products for cheap to gain market share. But this seems really overpriced. What are you getting with an $80 app for social media?
Completely different services. What social media app has ever cost $80?
Ivory for Mastodon is $15/year
$80 would only buy you 5.33 years
I’m not paying for Ivory either. Out of curiosity does Ivory have adds for those who don’t pay?
I don’t think so but I think it’s “read only”.
Yeah but Plex has also been around for years and established that “lifetime” might be a good stretch of time. I’d never spend “lifetime” level money on some new mobile app.
80$ goes so far with software, I could buy so much cool shit with years of development behind it
