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.
Premium’s been a thing for a long time, it used to be Reddit Gold several years ago. It also used to be cheaper, $3.99/mo but it went up multiple years ago.
They might be pushing it hard right now, though. Not sure. Maybe they’re trying to entice the people who were paying for 3PA features to pay Reddit instead or something.
I currently have premium, ad free is the only way Reddit is palatable even before all this went down and I bought it ages ago when I wanted to support a thing I used every day and also have had a couple awards that extended it, it expires in August. I won’t be renewing.
It’s funny because if they did something like require Reddit premium to use 3rd party apps I would understand and honestly just pay it. Now I’m here.
This would have been such a good idea, quite literally a win/win for both reddit and 3rd party apps however that would require Spez to actually be clever and willing to work with others instead of role playing a dollar store version of Logan Roy.
It wouldn’t necessarily be a win for 3rd party apps because it still raises the cost to use them. $9 for Reddit is quite the ask already. 3rd party devs would need payment too and frankly social media ain’t worth anything over $5 to me

Same here, but not at $50/year.
Yeah, I was an original buyer on reddit gold. Then I got 2 years free because of the Alien Blue shutdown, and I never reupped afterward, because it didn’t really add anything to the experience.
And by the looks of it “avatar upgrades” and “Custom app icons” ain’t really providing anything else of value still.
The other problem with Reddit premium, have multiple accounts because you want to keep something’s separate? Well you have to pay $50 a year for each account.
Just put it all in one account and take a gamble when you're browsing in public
Which is crap because Reddit knows which accounts are alts because of having the same IP address, device/app ID, etc.
What about using old + an ad blocker?
I just use Firefox with the standard ad blocking extensions and I've never seen an ad on new Reddit.
Yep, except after two or three "pages" of scroll, the new Reddit UI becomes infuriatingly laggy.

Agreed. API access should be tied to the user anyway. 🤷♂️ And no issues with serving ads to 3p clients cause you pay to remove them .
Now that's what I call inflation.
What's so great about r/lounge?
Nothing.
I was gifted Reddit gold a few times over the years for random comments I made, which gave access to the lounge subreddit. It's mostly nothing but dumb memes roleplaying as gilded age oil tycoons and the like. Definitely not worth paying anything for access to it.
Not much that I could tell, I got gold a couple times and it seemed like people there were just the same except "oh it's exclusive" but the memes werent any better.
ngl I always assumed that was a placeholder sub without any content, just to sustain the meme that /r/lounge was a thing
If I remember correctly, when it first launched, it was a one time payment actually.
