    People want to get paid for their work? Shocking!

    And other people don’t want nagging spyware ads? SHOCKING! You know, Twitter and Reddit developers also want to get paid. That’s why they killed free API access. Funny how you came to Lemmy anyway…

      Comparing a solo dev to large corporations isn’t really convincing me.

        And I’m not convinced by the claim that putting spyware into apps is the only way to make money.

          Literally no one on the face of the earth has ever said that. We’re actually talking about an app that has a paid option without ads.
