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.

    Same here. If they’d have just framed it differently and put the onus of paying for api access on the users (at a modest fee), almost none of the backlash would have happened.

    Then I’d still be oblivious.

    I prefer the world the way it was before all the consolidation. I like the ideals of the fediverse and want it to succeed.

      Exactly, this is better overall I think, at least when it comes to the health of the internet as a whole.
