There’s tons of good free client options.

You can still donate to those too. It's good to support the dev(s) of any app you like, FOSS or not.

It’s fine to donate to developers for making good products, I do it often… it’s altogether different for a developer of an app to ask their user base to pay in order to remove ads that other apps of equal quality that are free to use don’t have.

To each their own, we all have things we like to burn money on.

I know that, and boost is also free in that regard. Doing a donation to support a client isn't a bad thing, it's a way of supporting the developer behind for all the hard work taht went into making this

Donating to a developer because you like their product is one thing. Paying to remove an annoyance put there by the developer so they can make money is altogether different.

It's the first thing I did after logging in. I would've done a donation regardless if this was here or not. I just loved boost when the Reddit version was alive and this isn't about the ads
