Stil frustrates me. Being fair about why the business side needs it and then giving a time frame to devs to integrate with premium calls would have been the best option.

Good point! It was not a given, but right now it seems like Reddit's choices (and related events at Twitter/Meta) have been driving new platforms to emerge. I'm still incredibly suprised by the adoption of Lemmy and Kbin and especially the quaility and diversity of available apps for the platforms. It's just really cool to see what people can do when they care about communitites of people coming together.
