How much does Sync pay to host all the content for users to browse? How much does Sync pay content creators for that content? How much does Sync spend on creating content for the platform?
Don’t get me wrong, I think devs should get paid for their work. If you’re happy to pay what’s being asked and see value in it, that’s great. But your comparison isn’t accurate.
Development and hosting are different expenses, but they’re still expenses. I also find it interesting that you call out the “content creators” as being on a certain level, but app creators aren’t?
Two very different things.
How so? Also Spotify Premium at $13/mo when there’s a free version supported by ads

Not what I said at all. Just pointing out they’re are completely different services.
Different services in the context of one service making sense to pay for and another not
No. Different service because they’re a completely different offering.
A fairer comparison would be the cost of Sync to other Lemmy apps.
Are other apps being developed full time?
