You will attract the fanboys base. But, I second this. People should give the same amount of money to an instance before giving to these closed apps. Without the instances, they couldn't use the apps.

Why assume that people paying for an app haven't already donated to an instance or two?

I'm not assuming. My point is that the dev has to share the revenues with the instances. Without instances, the app is useless. It's not the case so users should give the same.

The other point is that a paid third party client adds a layer what makes the instances less visible. This lack of visibility can lower the donation. Also, you will end with one or two people thinking they pay for the app and so for the instances.

A reminder is always good.
