Boost (the best social app ever) & Jerboa (simple, lightweight alternative).
Boost is too nosy.
And requires payment to remove ads. Fucking lame.
What's the issue with that?
Hmmm. Let’s see. Annoy the users of your product into paying you money so that they can have the features that other similar products offer for free?
I’ll be damned! Seems there is no catch!
I don't get it. Do you expect him to work for free just because others do? If Boost for Lemmy was completely a paid app instead of free with ads, it wouldn't see as much adoption. That's how Sync, Boost and Relay (for Reddit) used to work.
So…. There’s tons of free options that are just as good, if not better. So, offering a paid version of something people can easily get for free is duping the ignorant.
Now if Boost offered some premium option that was not offered in the free apps- that’d be entirely different. But that’s not the case.
So it’s a rip-off.
