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 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

      Charging for the API makes sense. Charging as much as Reddit wants to per API call is ridiculous.

      100%. Third party app access requiring premium seems like a fairly reasonable solution of money is the real issue.
