As a person who has been using reddit very regularly for about the last ten years...my bet is that Reddit Premium has few to no paid users.

As someone who spends way too much time on reddit and would be their prime target audience: i have no idea why I'd sign up for reddit premium. Not a single feature i care about.
Reddit premium subscriber here — I use it because it hides ads, I get a lot of value from Reddit (and want to make that sustainable, if possible), and Premium gives me stickers I can award to comments occasionally in addition to upvotes.
Thats how I felt. But this news tears it. Just cancelled my yearly sub.
I didn't even know Reddit Premium existed until this debacle started. I had assumed all their revenue came from ads and people buying awards.
I've been a premium member since the beginning because I believe in paying for access, but I just cancelled it.
As a person who's been paying for Apollo for a while and intended to continue, once it goes down, I will simply just stop using reddit.
