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.

I'm just shocked at how bad that offer is, 6 dollars a month just for ad free browsing? Damn. All the other "benefits" seem completely worthless to me.
For real. You can literally install UBlock Origin in just a minute or two. Why bother paying $6 for useless features AND to support a crappy company?
Also ReVanced on the official Android app
Yeah Revanced is great. It's the only way I watch YouTube on any android device
Huh, I didn't realise there was a new vanced!
I used to be a Reddit premium subscriber, because I used Reddit a lot and I wanted to support them. Silly me.
If Reddit wasn't going downhill I wouldn't mind paying to not see ads - if it helps keep the site running. But 6$/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
Baconreader gave me the same functionality after a one time app purchase of like $3.
