I got the lifetime Ultra option for Reddit. I know this is a whole different thing but does it transfer? Seems like it was introduced about a year ago, maybe two? I'm planning on living longer than that and I don't want to end up thinking my energies were misplaced

We'll see if LJ responds, but I'm pretty sure it's been established that none of the Reddit licensing is carrying over. I'm in a similar boat to you in that regard.

I can understand subscriptions not transferring over but Lifetime should, it's definitely a different type of thing. Changing ~10% of the codebase to use a different API isn't exactly a new app either

Edit: The new lifetime subscription is $115! WTF? Been using the app for 10 years and have always paid, this is a pure cash grab, what a joke.

Yarr, tis off to Mobilism I go for the cracked version. Smell ya later, LBJ or whatever your name is

$99/US for Ultra Lifetime, $20 for "just" Ad Free Lifetime.

I'm actually used to the opposite. Subscriptions I would kind of expect to carry over, because they were intended to cover a very specific length of time, independent of any versioning. Any lifetime or one time purchases are exactly the ones that I would expect to not carry over. ( Even though I would love for them to. ) Because in modern day, lifetime mostly gets interpreted as the lifetime of the major version or product. It's not really even meant as a defense, just an acknowledgment that that is the norm, for better or worse.
