    I actually paid for Reddit Premium about as long as I remember it being around. I cancelled the instant they announced the intent to paywall and censor the API.

    I’m generally fine with paying for services I use and enjoy, if I consider the price reasonable. I spent a lot of time on Reddit and considered it reasonable for avoiding ads.

    They’ll never see a cent from me again, not from ad revenue or otherwise. I blocked Reddit’s URLs on my PiHole just to be sure.

    I love that Unlock Origin shows “0” instead of “146” blocked domains while scrolling Lemmy as opposed to Reddit

      Ngl: I’d pay or even enter a subscription payment to keep it that way.

      It’s absurd, and yet in a capitalistic way totally logical, that companies do not offer total ad-free and tracking-free experiences to their paying customers.

        I’ve said about YouTubers if they made their own/joined a Peertube instance. At least I know the money wouldn’t be going to money hungry CEO’s, but directly to running their server or supporting them in SOME significant way

            I think curiosity stream is a bit different, but nebula and float plane are both creator run and owned and as far as I’m aware both are good to the people making content for them.
