And what are the others? We really don't need to increase the technology sector's unhealthy dependence on ads as a revenue stream; we should instead be trying to wean ourselves.
- msh 13y ago- charging a monthly fee for the back end. - charging enough for that the running cost is covered (the marginal cost is close to zero). But mostly I was responding to the comment that it was the only way to get payed for the developer.
- DrJokepu 13y agoI didn't ask my question in a vacuum, I asked it specifically within the context of Reeder 2. Reeder 2 is (as Reeder always was) a premium app, so ads are not an option. It is a front end for other third party services rather than something that has its own backend, so charging a recurring fee for the backend is not an option. iOS App Store guidelines rule out other options. Really, the only option that can sustain the costs of the continued development of the application is charging for each major release.
