I looked at the reddit premium and balked at the cost. I would have paid $10 or $20, but $60? For what? It's not the ads or the benefits but the experience. Demonstrably, third party apps provide a better experience at a lower price. And when I wanted to put my money where my mouth was, I walked away thinking Reddit is being the unreasonable ass hole.i could care less about Reddit Gold or whatever, Reddit just thinks too highly of itself and it's place on the internet.
