    It took him a month because he adapted a code base he had been working on for a decade.

    It’s not greediness to want to be able to pay your bills. This is his job. Also a single payment option has already been developed it’s just not made in live yet.

      He was already paying his bills with the one time payment and now hes even richer, this is the definition of greediness. Also his future plans are irrelevant here I am judging his current actions and the OP comment defending them.

      PS, weird how the no ads feature takes longer to develop than the recurring payment with 10 features, INCLUDING the no ads one!

          I said rich-ER buddy, how did you miss the one word? One time payment was enough when he had even less money back when he didnt have the reddit money yet so theres no excuse to hide no ads option behind a subscription model, especially for a foss platform, its not like its a reddit client and pays for api

        Who cares if he is rich. He is making a good product and people want that product. He can charge whatever he wants, there is no point taking it personally. If you don’t want to pay, there is no one forcing you - you can even continue to use the app for free if you want.

            If getting paid for the work you do that people are willing to pay for is greedy, then yes I suppose he is greedy, and so are everyone else who works for a living and try to up their earnings.

              If getting paid for the work you do that people are willing to pay for is greedy

              Not charging more than double the price of his product in the span of one month equals to not supporting people get paid, lets end this convo here since u wanna troll ( im nice and dont assume your reading comprehension is that bad instead)

                  Its fine if u feel like paying 2.5x more money for the same features in the span of one month, just dont push your bs onto others

                    I don’t know what you mean by paying 2.5x in the span 1 month.

                    I also paid for Sync Ultra for Reddit if you are referring to that app.

        One-time payment is already implemented. Update in the Play Store if you cannot see it. The “Remove Ads” button is below the settings.
