Advertising spend has dried up and the shareholders are looking for growth. I don't mind paying for YouTube Premium but I get it much cheaper than that because I connect via VPN when I pay for it. I use Romania but other people recommend Turkey or Argentina or any of the other countries that are having issues with their currencies.
You don't think it's unusual that he's more than tripled the price of Ultra? After selling a "lifetime" sub 13 months ago? This is a total swizz
I'm just going to use the cracked version when it's released on Mobilism, which will give me all the features for $0. My point is that I wanted to pay and always have paid
Premium is a great service for $4 a month and it's just handy to be able to use the real YouTube app when you need to. I personally use SmartTube on my Android TV and I absolutely love it.
I also use NewPipe x SponsorBlock on my phone if I want to listen to podcasts without any ad reads and it's occasionally handy if I want to listen to music on YouTube and not on my screen on although I use Spotify for music most of the time, or PlexAmp from my MP3 collection which is all on a Plex server in the cloud along with all my movies and TV shows
Yeah, don't forget about the grueling six weeks of development time too, it's practically Dickensian
This isn't a divorce proceedings, a judge hasn't mandated that I keep Lawrence in the lifestyle that he's become accustomed to. Not am I responsible for his bottom line, and tripling prices is probably going to hurt him because I assume a lot less people are going to pay it, just because it's triple the price for a lot less
Plus people who are inclined to get these lifetime subscriptions probably did already in the Reddit app 13 months ago so they're a little pissed off about that too, I would imagine. And the fact there has been no attempts to offer discounts or whatever. It's a swizz
I don't give a shit about $115, it's easy to make $115. It's just the principle. $50 might be different? I wouldn't need to think too long before buying that. Or $50 if you had a Reddit Lifetime subscription maybe
Mobilsm will have a cracked version of Sync in a day or two, so no paying at all. And that's coming from someone who wanted to pay, but not $115
VPN to Romania and you can subscribe to YouTube Premium for about $4 a month. Add SponsorBlock and it'll even skip in-video ad reads, which really feels like magic
Absolutely, I bought lifetime the day it was offered 13 months ago, to not have at least some sort of discount on the new lifetime subscription is a bit of a piss take, as is the fact it's tripled to 115 fucking dollars
Was definitely the best Reddit app. Very polished with tons of great features and regular updates and communication from the dev. Was my favourite app in general, not just my fav Reddit app
It's possible, but if he's suddenly charging $115 for something that was $35 and that also kinda gets you less then he's not exactly thinking logically. Or maybe he knows something about market forces that I don't? Charge triple the price and offer "less" and maybe the people will come?
He's a talented dev and I've been a long time supporter but he's really shitting the bed here
It's something like 10% different, let's not get too excited here
$115 for the lifetime option that I paid $35 for 13 months ago and $3 before that? It's a scumbag cash grab for basically rejigging an existing app. Off to Mobilism to check if anyone has cracked it yet, because I'm not giving this clown another cent
"Something" is $115 for the lifetime subscription. I paid $35 for the same thing 13 months ago, and it was $3 before that. He didn't exactly build the app from scratch either. It's greed, so I'll be getting the cracked version on Mobilism as soon as it's released
Going from $35 to $115 for the lifetime subscription is an absolute farce
$115, are you fucking mental!? I paid $35 for the "lifetime" option 13 months ago
Yeah, fuck him. Long time paying and vocal supporter here. I'll get the cracked version on Mobilism when it's released
