Why do you even use a client. Just use the website dum dum don’t have to install an extra app for no reason then. Stupid right? That’d be because the user experience is better with the custom mobile clients.
As is boost. I’m not sure why you guys get so freaky about ads. You can just not use the client or hell pay a few bucks and not have them. People who are paid for their work tend to produce higher quality products. What’s the problem with a dude being paid for his labor?
It’s fine to donate to developers for making good products, I do it often… it’s altogether different for a developer of an app to ask their user base to pay in order to remove ads that other apps of equal quality that are free to use don’t have.
To each their own, we all have things we like to burn money on.
I know that, and boost is also free in that regard. Doing a donation to support a client isn’t a bad thing, it’s a way of supporting the developer behind for all the hard work taht went into making this
People pay to use a free site?
People pay for a custom smartphone client to the Lemmyverse.
Why? There’s tons of free ones.

No one is being freaky. Just curious why people pay for something that’s free to use.
It’s supporting a good client
There’s tons of good free client options.
You can still donate to those too. It’s good to support the dev(s) of any app you like, FOSS or not.
