Is the subscription the only way to remove ads? (lemm.ee)

Is there a one time payment option to remove ads?

Or is sync ultra the only way to remove ads?

I would love to support sync, but the subscription fatigue is real.

Subscription models only make sense for an app/service that have recurring costs.

In the case of Lemmy apps, the instances are the ones with recurring hosting costs, not the apps.

If an app doesn’t have recurring hosting costs, it only makes sense to have one up front payment and then maybe in app purchases to pay for new features going forward.

Subscription models for an app that’s not hosting anything is just the dev wanting a constant revenue stream, no matter how they try to word it.

Development is a recurring cost
