It's more having a familiar app back, the look and feel of it all it's so familiar to me that it's great to have back. And it feels better than liftoff in my opinion
It’s worth twenty dollars to not see ads that don’t exist in the first place?
It’s worth introducing capitalism to the fediverse?
Are we not free to decide which software we use? If so, then your question can only be answered individually.
Your second question confuses me a little. There is nothing inherently pro or anti capitalist about the tech, especially in light of the first point.
To me, yes. I spent a decade on sync pro for reddit, so it wasn't even a thought. Others don't have to feel the same way or use it.
I like the dev. I like supporting the dev to continue improving an app I like.
So developers shouldn’t be allowed to make money for the time and effort they put in to making apps?
As a developer myself, yes. There's nothing wrong with a dev of an awesome app to make some bucks, and no, it's not the same as reddit, you know who gets the ad money there, here is straight to the guy developing the app. If I don't feel like paying, I can always move to another app.
It's worth twenty dollars for a better experience with more polish than any other app. No question.
