There are some funky federation issues right now, the servers are straining a little bit under the load spike. I can see your post.

Premium’s been a thing for a long time, it used to be Reddit Gold several years ago. It also used to be cheaper, $3.99/mo but it went up multiple years ago.

They might be pushing it hard right now, though. Not sure. Maybe they’re trying to entice the people who were paying for 3PA features to pay Reddit instead or something.

I currently have premium, ad free is the only way Reddit is palatable even before all this went down and I bought it ages ago when I wanted to support a thing I used every day and also have had a couple awards that extended it, it expires in August. I won’t be renewing.

!shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca is one I saw pop up recently.

!gifrecipes@lemmy.world also.

If they start inserting ads in videos I’m watching even though I literally pay them not to, I’ll be more than just mildly infuriated.

I think I’m scarred for life from the Swamps of Dagobah. And I can’t look at coconuts anymore.

https://lemmy.world/c/therewasanattempt would probably appreciate this and it’s so new there’s nothing there yet.

Crosswalks. It’s always crosswalks for me.
