My bet is that Dawson was younger and interested in a better app. Probably in college or right out. He had plenty of time and wasn't making a lot of money. He's maybe got a wife and kids now. I'm sure he makes really good money at a real job too. The side hustle is something he remembers being fun but now it's a crappy low paying contract gig. Now it's a side hustle with diminishing returns.
The best thing he could do is just admit he doesn't want to do it anymore. Maybe he's not ready to do that though. Definitely the passion isn't there anymore, but the nostalgia is still there.
It's definitely much harder juggling things as I get older. And you were right, I was fresh out of uni last time and now I'm 34 :/
Family first! I thank you for what you've done for reddit and sync for lemmy. The app still works great for me. I hope you find happiness in your work and I accept whatever decision you make to continue this at whatever pace suits you. It's been really fun watching your efforts and enjoying the fruits of your labor over the last decade.
