I think they are using shitty speech-to-text software that does not do punctuation.

FTFY:

That's US inflation, maybe – but LJ lives in the UK and I can tell you: it's a lot worse than that for us. The Bank of England says a certain inflation rate that isn't that high (like 30% over the last year) but that's a lie. It feels like the cost of everything, including food, has at least tripled over the last year or two, maybe more. Sync at its end was £5 and hadn't gone up in a few years, so if you triple that you get £15 – which, yeah, is below £20 by a quarter – but Sync4Reddit lasted 10 years before it died only ‘cause of Reddit. I don't think that's a bad price to pay for a lifetime of adless Sync. Sync is LJ’s job so it's only natural the price is gonna go up with food going up this much. £20 for 10 years or more of updates for an app I use constantly isn't a bad deal.
