$50 wouldn't have nearly as much of a negative reaction. $100 is awfully steep for a community as small as Lemmy.

But I'm glad the yearly sub is only $17, so I may get that instead.

    It's steep because Lemmy is a small community

    A small community of people who are probably mostly not interested in paying quite this much for an app.

    If this is what it costs to continue development then I'm going to be surprised if enough people pay it to ensure its long term viability as a business in the first place.

    It's not "only" $17, it's $17 every single year, indefinitely. In six years you'll be over the $100 price it's at now.

    Subscription services are a scam meant to quietly part a large population of their money without their realizing it.

    First, $17 is a lot more affordable for some people. We don't all have $100 we can just throw at a app whenever we like.

    Second, a cheap yearly subscription is not a big deal to some people, especially those that want to help the dev out.

    And thirdly, subscriptions are not scams unless you're tricked into signing up for one.
