I agree. That’s why I pay for apps and services that are well designed and supported. The “free” mentality always leads to advertisements being pushed into everyone’s face.
Without financial support, most Lemmy instances wouldn’t exist. I’d rather support apps that have free versions with premium subscriptions, or donation models, but it’s all the same thing to me. I want to go back to world where we just pay for stuff.
Yes. I want my old version of an app that will never stop working when someone decides it should. Im ok with paying to upgrade, Im not ok with apps that needlessly need an internet connection and that stop working when someone shuts down their license server.
Ok, so? As I said, Im ok with paying for an upgrade. I am not ok with an app not working offline when the only online functionality of it is license checking. I am not ok with an app not working not because the service it connects to changed their API, but because the developer of the app itself said so.

Do you want to own a version of an app that never has updates?

Any app that relies on another service needs maintenance just to keep up with changes in the API that break backwards compatibility.

You can buy a ads-free version of sync without subscription for about 15 euros.
