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.

    You’ve paid rent to every employer you’ve ever had in the form of surplus value. Surplus value is just the name for the difference between what your paid, and the actual value of your work.

    Businesses call it “profit”.

    Every capitalist ever is trying to increase surplus value, both by increasing the value of your output, and also by paying you less. In the ideal form, you work for free making them, I don’t know, solid gold diamonds or something.
