[digging]

I would not, because reddit doesn't deserve my money. A different organization running a similar but different site would get money from me, but that doesn't really exist.

The dichotomy isn't really "ads" vs "subscription" in most cases; it's "ads + data harvesting (with negative societal externalities)" vs "subscription vs data harvesting (with negative societal externalities)". I am willing to use such a service as a parasite, but not as a paying user.
