Imagine a city with 5 roads leading into it. A 6th road opens, and the builder puts up a toll booth, charging a high amount. Meanwhile 5 additional roads are currently being built leading into the city.

I mean, sure, some fools will pay the toll, but it really looks like the road builder is hoping to capture a clientele that doesn't know the other roads exist.

I disagree. I think that is an overly simplistic view of the situation.

Some people buy iPhones and Samsung Ultras and whatever else. Some people use the same basic phone they had ten years ago. Both are valid. It's no different here, if you're happy with the free stuff then cool, if you want the very best Lemmy app which has had over a decade of development then also cool.

Saying that people are fools because they want to pay for the software they use and have made a value judgement to do so is absurd.

Apollo also had years of development but was totally free with donation options. And imo it was better than Sync.

No offense to Sync though, it was/is still an amazing app.

Sync was a fine Reddit app, but it was never the best. If you want to pay a fortune for mediocrity, enjoy yourself.
