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 used to be a Reddit premium subscriber, because I used Reddit a lot and I wanted to support them. Silly me.

      If Reddit wasn’t going downhill I wouldn’t mind paying to not see ads - if it helps keep the site running. But 6$/mo is very excessive for what is essentially a forum + link aggregator.

      Disney+ for comparison isn’t much more expensive and I feel that I get a lot more value out of that, not to mention streaming isn’t cheap.

      Same although the ads were blocked, apparently a basic feature I use a lot, saving/bookmarking posts, was locked behind premium. That should have been a big red flag lmfao
