I agree with some things, I don’t do subscriptions most of the time but for something like this that is developed by one guy for his livelihood, I can understand his desire for some financial security. For most things I will just pirate it if it’s heavy handed about subscribing to their service, but if a couple dollars a month helps LJ continue to develop my favorite app I’m not complaining. It’s such a small amount of money anyway.
I’m not saying this to take away from your argument, I also see the validity in buying a license vs a subscription. I guess in my head I can make an exception for Sync, only because I’ve used it SO much over the years.
This is pretty much my sentiment for choosing to subscribe monthly to Sync as well. Sync for Reddit was one of the most polished, feature-rich, and customizable apps available for Android, and LJ Dawson is doing it by himself. I want to support him.
