I was a Reddit Premium subscriber and had been since the only thing it did was remove ads, give you access to /r/lounge, and a shiny badge on your user page.

The fact that it never crossed their mind that a half hearted attempt like allowing Premium members, who pay more every month than a free user generates in ad revenue, to continue using whatever apps they want might stymie some of the outrage show how out of touch the execs are. It still would be a bullshit solution, but making a developer like Christian pay for API requests while I was already paying Reddit ~$5/mo was stupid.

(Needless to say, I’m not longer subscribed to Premium)
