Yes. Making videos is a job and the creators need money to eat and remain housed, it’s reasonable for them to want to be compensated for their work.

I completely agree. I’m personally holding off on heavy promotion of this platform until we hit 1.0. If people join too early and are turned off by the lack of polish, they may not come back after it’s fixed.
The company said that it will still have opt-out controls in “select countries” without specifying which ones.
I’m guessing that’s how they plan to get around that. They will leave the toggle enabled for people registered in EU countries, and disable it everywhere else. A fairly risky way to handle it in my opinion.
It truly is disgusting that they’ve made this model. Tinder has always been severely flawed in my opinion, but this makes it several times worse.
That genuinely reads like satire. What an awful corporate model, extracting every penny out of the workers and consumers to force that line to keep going up.
I think the idea behind this is to spend your entire life alternating between periods of work and retirement. It’s definitely an idea I could get behind, though society now is not built for it.
The copy, pasting, cutting, and moving features have improved significantly but I will admit it’s still not perfect.
I personally use Xournal++. It’s a really nice app and is FOSS.
How’s progress on OAuth2? I know previously you (understandably) said it wasn’t a priority this early, but is it on the greater roadmap?
That’s called OAuth2, it’s a security feature. By logging into the official UI and that UI returning a login token, potentially malicious mobile apps are prevented from stealing your login credentials. For Lemmy the majority if not all of the current mobile clients are safe, but if a malicious one sprouts up it could use native login to steal your credentials and store them on a malicious server.
Sync’s a really smooth experience, I’m enjoying it. Hopefully moderator tools will be back soon, that’s one of the biggest weaknesses of the Lemmy app space right now.
Thee developers really crunched over July. It went from a niche beta platform to fully featured third-party apps and a ton of platform optimizations in a month, which is really impressive.
They probably paid for the title but the article isn’t actually that peachy, I’d say its assessment is accurate. The Reddit sub protest is over, and technically spez got his way, but the platform has been damaged and may recover or may begin to die out and be replaced.
This is honestly a great experience, the app has integrated with my instance perfectly. Impressive work!
The Connect UI is alright in my opinion, but Sync is definitely more polished. That makes sense though, Sync has been around significantly longer and thus has seen a lot more improvement.
It’s so convenient. It’s the type of feature you love to have but don’t automatically think to request.
Removing ads is $20, the lifetime cloud subscription is $99. $99 is definitely a high price tag, but I suppose if you plan to use this app for the next decade it may well be worth it.
I like swiping gestures, it has a really nice UI, and I don’t mind unintrusive ads in otherwise free software.
It’s possible that people were idling their accounts while waiting for Sync to come out, and are using the platform more now that it has.
I would be inclined to agree with you if they didn’t get rid of Premium Light. I think charging users for avoiding ads is completely reasonable, we live in a Capitalist country and video hosting isn’t cheap. Even still, axing Premium Light shows a desire to screw over users in order to achieve more profit, which in my mind makes YouTube scummy.
