The website has been knocking it out of the park for popular decisions lately /s

We all know this is happening with Reddit gold, however I thought it would be relevant to point out that there has been fallout amongst Reddit Premium subscribers.

Just out of curiosity, what is it that you were subscribing for? I used r*ddit for 13 years and never saw the need to pay for premium or gold or whatever. What features did it offer?

I felt like the subscription was reasonable for the amount of time I spent on Reddit.

I subscribed before the new redesign. One of the things I liked was on the website it highlighted new comments in a thread for you. That feature didn't make it into the redesign. And the available Dark Themes became broken over time on old.reddit.

The free coins would have been nice if I hadn't started spending more time on RIF instead of the website or if third party apps had access to the award API.

In the end, I kept my subscription going mostly on momentum and maybe the hope that something useful would show up eventually. Plus I had a grandfather clause price point on my subscription from before they changed the subscription from "Reddit Gold" to "Reddit Premium". So there was that overly-emotional fear of losing out on that deal should I eventually re-subscribe.

Should have ended the subscription far longer before I did. But in the end, I ended it to time with the recent Blackouts.
