A small community of people who are probably mostly not interested in paying quite this much for an app.
If this is what it costs to continue development then I’m going to be surprised if enough people pay it to ensure its long term viability as a business in the first place.
$50 wouldn’t have nearly as much of a negative reaction. $100 is awfully steep for a community as small as Lemmy.
But I’m glad the yearly sub is only $17, so I may get that instead.
I personally would never pay a subscription for a 3rd party Lemmy app. That defeats some part of why I moved to Lemmy to begin with.
It’s steep because Lemmy is a small community
