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 although the ads were blocked, apparently a basic feature I use a lot, saving/bookmarking posts, was locked behind premium. That should have been a big red flag lmfao
Baconreader gave me the same functionality after a one time app purchase of like $3.
