Or Voyeger or any other opensource Lemmy client.
One time payments would be great, but the devs make a lot more from subscriptions. You don't see services like Netflix or Hulu offering one time payments options. As a consumer, I love it, but the devs might not be able to sustain the app from that model. I'd be interested if you have any other ideas though.
Netflix and Hulu, you're paying for content. Completely different.
You've moved the goalposts. First, you said this:
In other words, if you don't pay a subscription or see ads, the developer gets no money at all. You're using the app "for free."
Now you're saying that it's not "for free," just not enough to make a living. And what's more, you're using a mere suspicion to justify your very confident insistence that we need to "pick our poison," and that a one-time purchase is just not an option.
Basically, my point is that you need to choose what point you want to make and stick with it, because your argument has changed dramatically in the course of just two comments.
