Reddit: Don't like us anymore? Pay us $50/year!

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.

What are the devs even doing at reddit, do they even do actual work? The offical app is so shit.

I feel like any software change reddit has made is the last decade just made it a worse experience. It succeeded despite their changes, not because of them imo.

Obviously just speculation, the past week demonstrated that Spez is disorganized and probably contributing to a hostile working environment. Does his recent AMA or interviews give an impression of a leader that would be easy to excel and create with?

He's like a stubborn kid who does what he wants, not what is required to be done.

"He tells it like it is"

Our lead-poisoned parents may have bought into that crap. But we know all that is is stubborn arrogance. And solving problems requires open-minded thinking and chasing the problem, not the messenger/customer/employee.

I think reddit will turn into a authoritarian website, until and unless someone removes these stubborn idiots. But the question is who will remove them?
