Back when reddit premium was a thing I was quite happy to sub to that to pay towards costs, and make use of the benefits like X gold to give people per month and increased sub limits etc

Then they messed about with all that and I dropped my sub …

And I haven’t been back since the protests started so 🤷‍♀️

I think it also important to note that it wasn’t just the pricing itself, which was indeed already heinous, but that the rate calculation changed. It used to be a rate per user per app (apikey+oauth) but they changed that to just the per app … that then has a multiplicative effect on the costs and makes the “free tier” they were talking about especially pointless…

It would be easy for an app to start at free tier … not have much growth through word of mouth but enough given the per app rates to push it over boundary points … and then be due a significant and unavoidable invoice in a couple of months…

I just love that formula1 has used that logic as basis to declare themselves nsfw and thus not eligible for all or ads 🤣

Have popped into ModCoord a couple of times to check on the state of things… but haven’t been in any of my usual subs.

Need to start subscribing to specific communities here soon but for now enjoying the mix that is all/(active|hot) 😀
