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.

    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.

        Same here. On reddit for 17 years, signed on to Premium as soon as they offered it because I believe in supporting good services. I, too, feel betrayed.

        That’s the amazing thing. In about a month Reddit went from a well liked company to hated. I would love see the cross section of premium users used third party clients. Reddit just torched all good will for nothing.

      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.
