Good point. Way less staff to keep this service running as long as growth is not a priority like it is with most companies.
I don’t want it to have ads either but bandwidth is not free and someone somewhere is paying for it.
Is the donations don’t cover the bills there are few options.
Could easily see certain subreddits being like OF or Patreon. Pay for access to content. Pretty tried and true business model and it will probably work well enough to keep it around.
Even YouTube has “memberships” to channels now where you get bonus content and stuff.
The people that are interested will pay and those that aren’t won’t.
Eternal September.
I still recall the digg migration.
Sort of a hypocrite through cause I’m part of the Reddit 3rd Party API migration…
Thanks for the reply. Definitely my favorite app right now, just not super comfy for one handed browsing (gotta stretch my thumb a lot).
