TIHI was a fairly large sub, with almost multimilion level of subscribers. If reddit wanted to increase traffic and get more eyes on ads, they're doing quite a terrible job of it so far.

Reddit's stance has just been so bizarre.

So they want people to pay to not see ads? They literally sell that as a product, Reddit Premium. Why not tie API access to premium subscriptions? It's not even unprecedented; Spotify does this.

At this point, it's not about what is logical or sensible. Huffman would rather burn the place down than admit he was wrong.

This is literally the only reason I would pay for Premium access.
