Perfectly reasonable IMO. That said I’m still not going to use reddit again

Just sad that's what the Internet has come to, microtransactions for using an app for a website that just aggregates links. Not to mention reddit has already gimped your third party access with the NSFW stuff and I'm sure more is on its way. Fuuuuuck off reddit

if you are mod of an subreddit you still get access to nsfw. also you can continue to use thirdparty apps. i still use joey for Reddit as an example. reddit still allows you to use them in secret if you're a moderator.

I guess the era of getting everything for free wasn’t entirely sustainable after all. Who would have thought.
