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.

    This, they could have just said API access now requires premium. I’m sure some people would have been pissed, but not nearly as much as the current situation.

    If it was just “Pay $50 per year and continue to use and enjoy any 3PA of your choice”, I might have paid rather than jumping ship.

      Agreed. RiF was my world. I literally took the news re: API changes worse than when my girlfriend broke up with me (shortly before). My stages of grief have centered more around reddit than her, lol.

      Now Reddit have shown they are toxic. And I no longer wish to add value to their platform.

      I miss some subs, but honestly this place is FUN. It’s so old school! And it’s great to see the activity increase daily.
