"Contains ads" no thank you

[–] jcb2016 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's probably a low one time purchase. Remember it's a top tier third-party app!

That's what it was for Boost for Reddit. I used it for years adfree after a one time purchase.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's how Boost for Reddit was. Free with ads, or a small cost (~$5 or so) to use ad-free, forever.

I don't suppose I can migrate my previous purchase to this, can I?

Different app for a different platform so I doubt it.

Boost has always had ads, it's one time purchase removal

If it's anything like Boost for Reddit was, it's unnoticeable. Every 20 or so posts you'll see an ad and just scroll past, no animations or sound. I think I recall seeing a bottom banner? Any other Boost users confirm? I really just ignored it so I can't recall.

My point is, ads were non-obstructive

And very adblock-friendly

I was a free boost user for a year. Yeah, there was a bottom banner. I don't recall seeing ads on the scroll by though?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

There was definitely a bottom banner but it was quite unobtrusive

For Reddit it Gremium, with a single pay reasonable price.
