Nah, this is LeopardsAteMyFace-worthy content. Christian would have been printing money if he made "the right choice" and kept the baby.
The best part is if he sues, he loses his halo even more and he wins nothing. All is as it should be
Edit: someone wanna repost there c/LeopardsAteMyFace?
I doubt he'd be able to make a living from Lemmy's relatively small user base.
The author of Sync ported it over (and it's awesome), but he had to crank up the price and he hasn't posted much since the initial few releases. I wouldn't be surprised if he moved on for financial reasons.
He is still there. Updates for sync always happened in spurts during the reddit days.
Because he passed up first-movers advantage. Instead, I'll stick with Memmy
Edit: also, since he canned it he's going to be making even less or a living so thats not an argument that I will even engage with. I don't care about his nut being smaller than previously when he's willing to do zero nut.
In that case, people will find and support and patronize others who step up. Im done on this conversation(whole thread). There's nothing to be done or heard than whining.
Heβs moved on and anyway he says PixelPals now makes more money than Apollo did.
I think people are reading too much into a short comment from months ago.
Rule 1, please :)
Will edit
Edit: from what I remember, Pixel Pals is another subscription product so I would humbly suggest the same issues are present although this time, its Christian who holds the keys to the API, so to speak. I simply wouldn't have the confidence to invest any further time or money with his projects when a precedent has been set
