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.

    There’s literally nothing enticing in that package.

    If they wanted people to pay for API access, why not include that in premium? Though not sure that would have gone much better.

        That’s always the issue with whales right? They don’t make your service any better, they just consume it. So you don’t get the network effect that comes from having tons of people making your service great, where a lower barrier of entry is important.
