    I’ve been using Liftoff, which has none of that nonsense. Ads on Lemmy, no thanks. Why pay for it if free alternatives exist.

      The paid version of Boost is ad-free.

      Why pay for it if free alternatives exist.

      Because people think the paid alternative is better and worth its money? This is so blatantly obvious, that you do not appear to try and engage in a good faith conversation.

      Yeah, I said the same thing in another post. They’re downvoting me as well. It seems these kids love burning money on things other people get for free.

      I say, let them. They think they’re getting a value and no one is getting hurt. Sure, it’s dumb, but it’s the harmless kind of dumb.

          So, you are in the tribe that likes to visit communities for a product that the majority of its members are obviously enthusiastic about to tell them how stupid they are and then wonder about the backlash?

          You know, if you were honestly interested in understanding peoples’ motivations to use and pay for Boost, it would be very easy to ask for it without harvesting downvotes. The way you phrase your comments simply suggests, that you’re not interested in that at all. Which leads to the question: Why are you here? What do you (expect to) get out of it?

            Not going to waste my time with you. You’ll tell me to fuck myself the moment you’re out of arguments.

              Says the one who engaged in zero arguments here 😅

              You can’t even run out of arguments, because you have none and preemptively bail out. Nice tactic 😉

        Maybe tone it down with the insults and you won’t get downvoted? It is kind of ironic that you refer to everyone paying for Boost as kids. Your comment screams IMMATURITY!

        If you were honestly interested in why people spent money on Boost you could ask along the lines of:

        “What does Boost for Lemmy offer that other clients don’t so you think it’s worth to spend ~3,50$ on it?”

        I’m not going to bother to look up your comments. But I’m quite confident that, if I were to look, the phrasing would be nothing like that.

          What have I said that was insulting? Please point this out to me.

          And I don’t have to ask. I know it’s the exact same as the other apps I mentioned.

            Seriously?

            Then why are you here? Just to tell people that they are dumb kids?

              Doing a dumb thing isn’t the same as being a dumb person. Learn this distinction, it’ll be beneficial to you moving forward.
