I would have IF it had been the solution Reddit had came up with in the first place AND they hadn't destroyed my trust in them with their handling of the protests.
I have an issue with your proposed solution though: it does not address the use case of moderation / accessibility / utility tools and bots.
I told the Infinity dev that I would pay for access. But I somehow expected a reasonable price. And after the shitshow of the last days I am not interested in Reddit anymore. I think I will pay for a few months because I said so and that it is then.
Sigh, I’ll get hanged for this, but probably. I really enjoyed Reddit, and the wide variety of content/information I could easily access. When I had my son, Reddit was invaluable, and frankly still is in regards to parenting advice. I’m excited to check out the Fediverse and is happily contribute to it growing into a large community and resource. But the gap is felt in the meantime.
Still, I hope Huffman is given his due for his obnoxious bullshit.
Not with how the site’s being run now, no
I would have
I can 100% acknowledge that social media is damaging to my psychological well-being. So while I have an unhealthy addiction to it, I can luckily draw the line at paying for it. I will never pay to use any social media platform.
No, I'm done. My accounts are gone. Not interested in starting over
I wouldn't go back if it stayed the same for free lmao
In all honesty, maybe I would go back if I could pay a few bucks a month to use my own client that didn't show ads.
But that's because there are a few niche communities on Reddit that don't seem to want to migrate anywhere else.
Nah.
Initially I would have for like 5€/month I guess. But now, I'll just directly use the browser with ublock when I need something. For scrolling I'll stay here
I paid for Reddit Premium. (have cancelled it now).
If the API would be full-featured (so including explicit content) and if I still don't get ads, I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable amount.
At least I would have before their CEO started burning bridges. Right now I'm done with reddit.
They're not getting my eyeballs nor my money anymore.
(I am embarrassed to admit it)
Don't be embarrassed about being willing to pay for a service you find worth it. The same people who will chide you for this will turn around and spend their money on something you find dumb. It's your money.
As for the actual prompt, I don't think I would. Primarily for a few reasons. I already pay a few subscriptions and reddit does not provide enough value, for me personally, to overwrite other ones I'm paying for and I'm not interested in adding more. My wife and I also used to browse a lot, so we'd have to pay for two as there's no family plan or a convenient way for us both to benefit, such as yt premium or Netflix would.
I'll be the odd one out. Yeah. I'd pay $12 a year (I think thats the number spez threw out) to use sync as I do now: add free and access to all subreddits.
