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.
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.

Reddit’s stance has just been so bizarre.

This is literally the only reason I would pay for Premium access.
At this point, it’s not about what is logical or sensible. Huffman would rather burn the place down than admit he was wrong.
