> My comment was mostly about the comment about developers underpricing their apps. If all apps would charge a minimum of $5 there would be a lot fewer app users.

Not all apps are worth $5/month, but this particular one that people apparently love enough to spend hours per day on certainly seems like it should be. A slightly nicer calculator app that you use twice a month? $0.99 is fine. A professional productivity app that saves a high-value worker hours of time? Way more than $5/month.

It's ok if not everyone can afford an app.

> Why should the app developer pay anything at all?

The app developer is just a proxy for the users, who are using Reddit without seeing any of Reddit's ads.

It’s a Reddit client. It’s marginally better than the official one but there is absolutely no way that it’s 5$ a month better to most user. I did purchase it and thought it was too expensive for what it is (it’s noticeably worse than most free Android client for exemple) and always refused to pay the subscription because, well, it’s a bloody Reddit client.

That’s fine, it’s not worth it to me either. But if it’s not worth $5 to anyone, then why is anyone even talking about it? If it’s not $5 of value, why would anyone care if it disappeared?

>>jdminh+9a
You can’t arbitrarily decide that being ready to pay $5 a month is magically an appropriate filter under which people are not allowed to care. This argument has no substance.

Oh it's far better than the buggy default official Reddit app, it's not even close, marginal is terrible descriptor.
