    You can’t compare a Lemmy app to a product. It’s a service. Boost provides an alternate way to access Lemmy as a service that they’ve put into an app. You can pay them for an ad free service, but if they take down Boost, you’re not entitled to a working app because it’s not a product, it’s a discontinued service.
