With that price I feel like the dev has 0 faith in lemmy getting very big

It feels kind of the opposite to me.

Going back and checking my Google account history, I paid $1 for Sync Pro. In 2012. And was using it up until last month. In retrospect, that was far too low a price for the utility I got out of the app for literally years.

If anything, it feels like the dev has learned that lesson and has priced the lifetime option where it's actually sustainable for them if Lemmy stays around.

    Well why not 1usd per month subscription. If 10,20,30 thousand of us subscribed, then he'd have a stable scaling income as the app grows in usage.

    Edit. Thousand

    I mean, there IS a monthly subscription for $2, so I'm not sure what your point is

    The point is, I want a discount. Poor people also want to use Sync.

    And before you ask, I'm in a third world country.

    But you can use sync for free. That's why the dev has put options for you. If you cannot pay the ad removal, you can still support the developer by using the app but with ads
