Because you’re focused on the visuals from a single user perspective…
Back when reddit premium was a thing I was quite happy to sub to that to pay towards costs, and make use of the benefits like X gold to give people per month and increased sub limits etc
Then they messed about with all that and I dropped my sub …
And I haven’t been back since the protests started so 🤷♀️
Just an FYI on the NOLF bit…
I think it also important to note that it wasn’t just the pricing itself, which was indeed already heinous, but that the rate calculation changed. It used to be a rate per user per app (apikey+oauth) but they changed that to just the per app … that then has a multiplicative effect on the costs and makes the “free tier” they were talking about especially pointless…
It would be easy for an app to start at free tier … not have much growth through word of mouth but enough given the per app rates to push it over boundary points … and then be due a significant and unavoidable invoice in a couple of months…
Although we’re no longer under the higher level EU legislation, the entirety of it was incorporated into an updated DPA during the Brexit reconciliation process.
So you could still go through the same process… and frankly Reddit won’t really know whether they need to act by it so go ahead…
Don’t… the comments by our (UK) minsters yesterday were appalling and very concerning…
