It's been like this in Canada for years. I'm not sure making our phones a wifi hotspot was ever free come to think of it.

Since the seeing ordeal someone went through here in Canada and his Telsa, I wouldn't own one if given to me.
Water condensation dripping from the AC compressor on top of the batteries is just bad design and lack of foresight.
Transport Canada said that was awful and the reason for his faulty battery/batteries and Teslsa still said, nah you on your own.
Forget that noise.
This perfectly explains the demise of BlackBerry phones too.
I'm all about the air hockey table.
Connect is much like Sync. In fact, I uninstalled Sync and went back to Connect.
I am aware of the scenario. Sync for Lemmy is not just relaunching into a fresh world here. The dev shouldn't come in with unreasonable pricing. Not when we can use very nice apps such as Connect instead for free, and ad free.
Inflation is awful. Gas as gone up 18%. Food about 20%. But $8 to $26 is a percentage increase of 225%.
I don't find your example valid, sorry.
What provinces are you two? I wonder if that's a factor.
I'm the same as you. I installed Sync too since I used that for Reddit. But Connect is already doing everything Sync did and for free. Sync is asking for some hefty prices. ($26 CDN to get rid of ass!)
I uninstalled it. I'm happy to stick with my Canadian made app anyway. 🇨🇦
It did not cost me $26 CDN. Maybe $8.
No, we're paying to remove ads. And $26 CDN to remove ads feels really high when I paid $3.69 to remove ads in Boost and $4.49 to remove ads in Relay in 2019.
I like how you bothered to speak of supporting the dev yet mentioned how to stop ads with a VPN based blocker.
I know it's ignorant, but all I can imagine when using a bidet for the first time is shooting my corn hole with a jet of cold water, not knowing how clean it is back there, and using a towel to dry off only to find watered down shit on the towel.
