This is exactly the sort of stuff we predicted way back then; this is why I've never touched this stuff.
I remember commenting on Reddit that the ad tier would start chiseling away the solid ad free tiers. I had absolute vitriol spew at me for saying that. And here we are.
The vitriol meant you were right.
Just don't fall into the trap to think that receiving backlash automatically means you're in the right. Otherwise, u/spez and Putin would need to be considered heroes for their bravery of doing their thing despite protests.
Strange how that works out isn't it?
Honestly, I was expecting them to try this a lot earlier then now.
