remember how a few short years ago reddit would guilt shame people into paying for "server costs" on a daily basis by buying awards? People were literally paying to keep reddit afloat for their own use. Now they are reversing course and saying "well there are costs to pay". the fuck is wrong with them. Users kept reddit afloat for all its life because they enjoyed it and got utility out of it. They paid for the access to all of reddit, api and all by awards and suddenly they want to charge money? what were people doing earlier? No one asked reddit to selfhost images and videos. Remove that and you can get back to 10 year old reddit in an instant but no. They want to bring algorithmic video recommendations ala tiktok. utter shit
