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 - well, 3 years, but still. I never thought I would long for bland corporate speak, but better than narcissistic incompetence.

      I wonder how many Premium subscriptions they lost over this, and whether it’s material to their business at all. If so, it could put Steve in hot water. Between losing ad revenue and losing paying members, he seems to be making awful decisions if his goal is to be profitable.

      At what point does Reddit’s board step in and make Steve go away? I know he is using Elon Musk as his spirit guide, but it’s a poor move to suck all the value out of your company before you sell it to investors…
