You’re completely right, and it’s something I’m going to have to consider depending on how my meeting later goes. Either way, applying for a new role is probably the best idea.

My landlord wants more money, our water bill has just gone up, as has our electric bill. Everyone wants more money, and I’m just struggling to see how my wife and I are supposed to save to buy our own place. I know our situation is far from isolated; it just feels so exhausting.

This could straight up be a side quest from Fable

Coincidentally, I have a meeting today with my management to talk about increasing my pay. I’ve prepared a pdf giving examples of the value I’m bringing to the business, as well as reasonable salary expectations.

Just like last year, and the year before that, I’m likely to get the same spiel about how “things are up in the air,” and there are “wider discussions being had about pay at the top, so there’s nothing we can commit to right now”. This is despite our parent company making billions in profit per year and our company enjoying healthy growth as well.

Time to look for another job, I think.

That’s the Daily Mail for you.

It’s a tabloid for the working class that actively promotes shitting on the working class. Unfortunately, they’re as popular now as they ever have been.

There’s a huge difference between wanting something for free and wanting something fairly priced.

I never said I wanted it for free. I’ve even paid for a year of Ultra to show some support towards the dev. But I still think the lifetime and regional pricing needs to be adjusted.

ad and pricing policies have changed from Sync for Reddit

The ad-free version of Sync for Reddit (Pro) was around £2 to £5, depending on when you bought it.

There was also a fairly priced lifetime cost for Ultra (around £25). The pricing policy you’re referring to is vastly different from what’s on offer right now. I’m not sure how you’re managing to even compare them.

Only once she’s finished wasting taxpayer’s money with her peerage snub inquiry.

I appreciate that, but your pricing is still still disproportionately high, especially when compared to the number of fantastic free alternatives out there.

I love your app, and I’ve supported you as a Pro and Ultra member on Sync for Reddit as well, but I really think you should reconsider the current subscription pricing and lifetime purchases for Ultra options. As far as I’m aware, Sync is also one of the only major Lemmy apps that has introduced ads/pay to remove ads option. You’ve brought subscriptions and money into a platform that is now home to an exodus of users that hated how those things were slowly destroying Reddit. It just doesn’t sit right with me.

I’ve signed up for a year out of a show as support for you. The best thing you could do is show your long-term support for this platform by encouraging growth and fair options for users rather than creating multi-tiered pay walls with questionably high prices.

Greed.

I signed up for a year of Ultra yesterday, more as a show of support. I’m already regretting it after seeing how many tiers of pricing are now being shoved out.

I get the dev has to eat, but this is completely going against everything Lemmy is supposed to be about, while costing significantly more than its Reddit counterpart.

While not necessary, it would have been nice if there was a small discount for Ultra subscribers of Sync for Reddit. I got just over 1 year of usage out of my ‘lifetime’ purchase. A gesture, even a small one, would have been nice.

I’ve just been soured over this whole thing, tbh.

We’re back! Instant install and subscription for me.
