If I pay to remove ads now, is the lifetime ultra cost discounted?
Pretty much title!
I’d love to support the developer, but I don’t feel like dropping $100 right now.

Just going off the 10+ year history we had with this developer on Reddit, he has operated in good faith thus far and added features to Pro without charging for it, so I don't think he'll do that. But who knows. You're buying today with no future guarantees. At least this time we know there's no central organization that can pull the rug out from under Lemmy.
$20 to get rid of ads forever on an app that you use daily is a fair price. No one gets lynched for subscribing to YouTube premium for $14/mo just to get rid of ads
Two very different things.
Username checks out.
Pretty sure the remove ads is lifetime not yearly (I can't check as I'm subscribed to Ultra). I think anyway. Ultra is the subscription model.
Ultra also has a lifetime option now.
Why are there even ads in the first place? No other app has them
Because @ljdawson is working on it full time and dude's gotta eat
I think the dev pays for Imgur and other media hosting site APIs so that is also a factor. No other app displays media as integrated as Sync.
I just tried uploading a picture and it was uploaded to my home instance for sharing. I do not see where imgur comes in the equation.
You can pay the yearly one and see how it goes in one year, it's cheaper than ad-free and also with extra feature, more bang for the buck i'd say
Ah i had a long day and didn't even think of that. I'll consider it, thanks!
No probs👌
I think he factored in 5-10 years of server costs by lifetime members and also his own price which he thinks is reasonable.
