One of the remaining 3rd party Reddit apps (Relay) has begun discussing what it would be charging for subscription fees. Imo, they actually seem somewhat reasonable. The weird thing is that every upvote or downvote is an API call so you can rack up a huge number of API calls from voting.

Also, while the costs might be reasonable now, there’s nothing preventing Reddit from jacking up prices again.

Edit: Also, there wouldn’t be any NSFW content with the app.

    Yeah, it’s cheaper than Reddit premium so it’s kind of strange that you’d get an ad-free option for cheaper than what Reddit officially offers.

      Of course it’s cheaper. You aren’t allowed access to ANY NSFW tagged content, which is probably about 60% of Reddit as a whole, so it’s an actively degraded experience.
