I'm not sure if this is new, but when I clicked on the /r/pics protest post link from the frontpage here, I was redirected to this: https://old.reddit.com/premium
I'm not sure if this is well-known or not that they're pushing it now, but it's the first time I've seen it, especially on old.reddit.
The irony is that I was mentally prepared to have to pay for Premium to keep BaconReader. All they had to do was add an "API access" badge to that screen and none of this would have happened, plus they would have gotten a bunch more new sign-ups. I am at a loss to explain what Steve is thinking, nor why his decisions are better for profitability.
Yeah, I'd gladly pay the sub for Apollo if reddit had decided to charge a modest price for the API and Christian could make a buck off it and reddit could also make a few bucks off me.
Reddit could've probably 5x'd or 10x'd the money they make off me that way, but now they 0x'd it.
Same here. If they'd have just framed it differently and put the onus of paying for api access on the users (at a modest fee), almost none of the backlash would have happened.
Then I'd still be oblivious.
I prefer the world the way it was before all the consolidation. I like the ideals of the fediverse and want it to succeed.
Man, I signed up reddit premium in like April because I wanted to support the site that I'd been using for 13 years. Just two months later, I've got so much regret lol
just reminded me to cancel premium, thank you!!
Leaving that garbage website was the best decision I've made for my mental health since pot
I tried to look at a reddit link via mobile web browser and it said something really stupid like.. we can't show you this on the web you need to use the app.
Dafuq? Hell no. I guess I'm not looking at it then. Jumped the shark, well and truly.
Premium’s been a thing for a long time, it used to be Reddit Gold several years ago. It also used to be cheaper, $3.99/mo but it went up multiple years ago.
They might be pushing it hard right now, though. Not sure. Maybe they’re trying to entice the people who were paying for 3PA features to pay Reddit instead or something.
I currently have premium, ad free is the only way Reddit is palatable even before all this went down and I bought it ages ago when I wanted to support a thing I used every day and also have had a couple awards that extended it, it expires in August. I won’t be renewing.
It’s funny because if they did something like require Reddit premium to use 3rd party apps I would understand and honestly just pay it. Now I’m here.
This would have been such a good idea, quite literally a win/win for both reddit and 3rd party apps however that would require Spez to actually be clever and willing to work with others instead of role playing a dollar store version of Logan Roy.
I mean, if they say "you have to pay 3 bucks a month to use 3rd party client" I would be annoyed but I would understand, and I would still be on reddit.
Every time I think they can't go lower, they exceed expectations.
"Pay us and we'll give you all this junk you never wanted in the first place"
I don't want more stuff - I want less of it. That's why I used RiF/old.reddit and that's why I'm now leaving.
Honestly. Avatars? Coins? Awards? I just wanted to stay up to date with the world and have conversations with people about it every once in a while.
I'm not paying for social media. Unless it's a donation to my server.
Imagin paying for the privilege of generating free content for others to monetize.
Paying an optional subscription fee is a great idea. It helps pay for servers and personal.
Paying to give special rewards is a horrible idea. The wealthiest can now decide which opinion is best. Everyone wants to reply to the rewarded comments to be more visible for upvotes. It's terrible.
I canceled my premium a few days ago, I guess if they are charging apps millions for API access, why do I need to pay for premium to help Reddit.
I had add free browsing on RIF u mother fuckers.
I kind of understand reddits problem with that part though, if they would have allowed third party apps with Premium, or added a "premium lite" API access tier for like $2 I think this would have gone over better
"exclusive avatar gear" I didn't even know there are avatars on Reddit. I've been using Sync for so long I never knew they added them.
I thought they were introducing something new among all this other bullshit but as soon as I saw it I realized that yeah, thats been around awhile.
As a fellow old.reddit user, none of this does me any good. My adblockers are sufficient, half the time I completely forget I have an avatar, and....i have no idea what the rest of that is.
So thanks, but no.
As a fellow old.reddit user, you probably also remember when buying/being gifted reddit gold was a big deal. One stupid little gesture, very few actual perks (beyond an "exclusive" subreddit no one used), but the money went straight to reddit and it was so popular it was a staple of reddit's early culture. Being gilded was a massive honor.
Now it's just one of a handful of paid reaction trophies you can give, and it's not worth paying attention to at all. Reddit was so money hungry it cannibalized the process through which people gave money to reddit for basically free
I've used reddit for a decade and never once did I feel that paying for it would benefit me.
"The suckers we talked into giving us money for our crazy salaries over the past decade+ want a return on their investment so cough up"
That's not new, they add this a few years ago after changing "gilded" to multi-tier award, which cost spez-buck, which you can get from either buying it like pay2win game or get this premium, and they will give you some spez-buck each month.
What infuriate me more is they didn't have regional pricing, so reddit premium cost more than youtube premium in my country, which provide better content and all of what i subbed is OG content.
I can't find myself paying monthly for internet regurgitator.
What are the devs even doing at reddit, do they even do actual work? The offical app is so shit.
I'm just shocked at how bad that offer is, 6 dollars a month just for ad free browsing? Damn. All the other "benefits" seem completely worthless to me.
For real. You can literally install UBlock Origin in just a minute or two. Why bother paying $6 for useless features AND to support a crappy company?
I opened jerboa and this was the top of my feed. I was extremely confused for much longer than I'd like to admit.
$50/yr and you get... Nothing i care about.
Avatars, coins, app icon im not interested at all. No ads isn't necessary as none ever appear on my feed. Literally zero need for premium. But but you have access to r/lounge! < Wanking gesture>
I would have happily paid $50 p/year for Apollo. I won’t pay $0.05c for Reddit.
I canceled by Premium subscription when they canceled my third party apps.
I didn't think anyone actually paid for that shit, like I thought it was a meme for the longest time.
I was a premium subscriber, simply because I used Reddit a lot, I could financially bear it, and I generally liked how the place was run so I wanted to support them. Now I feel betrayed and my trust is violated, like when your friend borrows money off you and then never pays it back and just laughs in your face for being so naive. So I went from 'I love Reddit' to 'fuck Reddit' in about a month. Impressive achievement.
I had a premium subscription for years. For as much as I used to use the site, it felt good to give a little back. Now they'll never see another cent from me.
I actually -was- paying for premium for over 6 years… canceled now
