We keep looking at this like it's about the apps themselves and not the precedent it sets. paying for a app while possibly neglecting the financial requirements of the instance admins (I set up my monthly payment to .world's Patreon Yesterday) that actually host the content you're looking at on said app.
And how is it different than reddit?
We paid for the app (or free app) but zero direct financial contribution to the platform.
I do not like corporation but it seems disingenous to post like you just did on an app's 'subreddit'.
Mmmm... I deleted my original response because yours disappeared for some reason, but I use liftoff and everybody should donate. That pretty much covers what I said in my original comment. I still don't understand what you're getting at though.
Is it a silly idea for apps to give a cut to instances people frequent? Genuinely curious.
Too many instances. Financial cat corral.
