Going to the cinema has become a luxury at this point, like (classical) theatre or opera. Which is not a bad thing per se, but the industry should stop complaining.
This makes me so happy! I’ve been maining boost for almost six years now and was so bummed when the dev announced he wasn’t going to be working on a Lemmy app. Looks like he changed his mind!
For a family of 4 which includes 2 adults and 2 children, we’re looking at $100 for tickets and snacks easily. It’s crazy how expensive going to the movies have become. That said, I really like recliner seats + Dolby Atmos without having to worry about “getting the best seats”, so some of the hike is a little more digestible. Movie theater snacks though, now that’s highway robbery.
Ikr? I was under the impression that Mayayo wasn't interested but he probably saw the potential even more so when other former reddit 3rd party apps are switching, potentially bringing a lot of users.
It was a sudden switch. My guess is he was on the fence and outpouring of support and donations from his goodbye announcement post pushed him over the fence. I’m thrilled of course, Boost was my favorite Reddit app so I look forward to trying the Lemmy version.
