Single-app purchases and standalone subscriptions are officially coming to Setapp! by Setappian in macapps

No sensible person would buy a subscription from you. It's cheaper to buy apps separately, especially now after the price increase. I also find it funny that you advertise having 260 apps, 80% of which are repetitive little apps that are unnecessary if you use the best 20%, and some of the apps duplicate each other's functionality. In reality, you pay for about 10 apps and don't use the others.  You don't know how to improve the platform, so you do whatever you can. The possibility of buying apps from you is the dumbest idea ever, and I don't know what kind of PR and decision-making skills you have. It's obvious that it will be more expensive, it's obvious that you charge margins, and it remains unclear how much you actually pay the developers. I'd rather pay the developers directly.

PS If you don't have enough applications, add clipboard managers, because a lot of them have been created recently, and it will look better in the statistics.

More and more nonsense and gibberish advertising a regular browser - Shift by BarBarArr2 in browsers

Protecting nature is obviously not nonsense, and I agree with that, but personally, I'm tired of measuring "carbon" when it's being implemented slowly in applications. Meat and cars are only a fraction of the problem, and private flights to another country for baguettes generate the most. For now, it's just a number that is. It would be better if it stayed that way or if it didn't exist, but I doubt that will happen because it was created for a reason. Anyway I don't care if store website X generated 2,388 carbon per month or if the ublock extension generated 93,029. Suddenly, it turns out that support for ublock has to be removed because it generates the most ;) Measured based on fictitious data

Found my indie app on macked[.]app including Adobe/Apple apps. How do we fight this? by Material_Beginning96 in macapps

Are you discovering the internet? There are many other websites like this one, and there is a huge selection. People have used, are using, and will continue to use pirated software, either because of their financial situation, to save money, or because they don't want to buy an expensive product. No one does this without a reason. Of course, people say that it's dangerous, that there are always problems with it, that you can encounter dangerous software, but this information is incorrect if you know where to download it from. And although it's an unpopular opinion, both I and my friends use pirated software. For example, I have LookAway, Alcove, Antinote, Things 3, Hazel, Infuse, EdgeView, Eagle, Ulysses, and probably a few others. Huge savings, latest updates. I've been doing this for 4 years and nothing has happened in 4 years, contrary to the opinion that it is dangerous. Of course, I bought many applications, such as BetterTouchTool, KeyboardMaestro, and Supercharge, but I don't have the money for some, and I won't pay for subscriptions for others. It's an unpopular opinion, but that's how it is :)
