Verge interviewed the maker of Relay for Reddit and says he might survive on a subscription only model of $2-3 USD per month. Lots of limitations inherent in that, but maybe.

How do lemmies feel about this?

Me personally? I am done. Regardless. I have seen intimately how enshitification ruins so many good pieces of software, I am just done. This was the last straw for me. They could revert back to free API. I will be contributing to the fediverse from here on out.

I just hope others without a tech background can understand how important this movement is to the future of a free internet.

It doesn't really matter, the NSFW filter will drive most people off. The price is fine, people in US would pay that much just for ad removal anyway but internationally, currency conversion will be harsh in some places. For CAD it isn't that bad atm.

It seems really telling that only one app is going to pay after all their hype about "partnerships".

Unfortunately without NSFW posts I'm not sure many are going to use it. A lot of NSFW tagged content on Non-NSFW subs. Besides, there's no way I'm paying a monthly fee for fucking Reddit.
