  • 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.

  • Please put your money where your mouth is.
  • 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 keep my screen on although I use Spotify for music most of the time.

    PlexAmp is great for my MP3 collection which is all on a Plex server in the cloud along with all my movies and TV shows. UI is a little quirky but it has all sorts of cool features like AI powered suggestions that use GPT4 tech and lots of other cool stuff

  • 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

  • Please put your money where your mouth is.
  • 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

  • Thank you for the quick turn around on removing ads
  • $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

  • Appreciation post for Liftoff not collecting user data or injecting ads.
  • "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
