Agreed, it's sad to see.
I've been a user of sync for idk how long.
LJ is a one man shop and he pounded this out over the course of what? A month? Dude has every right to charge what he feels is right for the software.
Honestly at this point there's no guarantee that lemmy is going to stick around very long, we're already seeing big communities shut down and splinter. I say strike while the iron is hot and get yours.
I'll admit I was a little shocked when I saw the pricing, and I will probably need to wait a week or two until I'm on a non-mortgage-paycheck to buy it, but I plan on grabbing pro to support him.
I used Sync for reddit for close to 10 years for like $5 I can afford to give back a bit.
Edit to add another thought: Sync is probably my most used app ever on my phone. I pay $15 or whatever per month for various streaming services, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max etc.. and I probably spend more time on Sync than any of those.
I've paid $50-60 for games I've put less than 20 hours into playing.
