And for a reasonable subscription price! It's just a shame that we know it goes straight to reddit, so I'm not gonna do that.
Who pays for the servers?
I don't mean reddit. You made a general statemet that you shouldn't pay to access user generated content.
Even Lemmy has users contributing tens of thousands of dollars to pay for servers. Someone has to pay.
That's fair. With the reddit example, the data reddit collects is used for advertising. Because reddit accounts are anonymous, there's not much to sell to third parties.
But with a third party reddit app, reddit can't show ads. The data is pretty useless. I'm not convinced third party apps can be a meaningful part of the revenue stream.
Is there a free tier? I just check in every other week, and I'm surprised I can still use Relay without a subscription.
No free tier, but some third party apps with a serious effort at going subscription based have been granted more time by reddit (but were required to remove their ads, and more stuff I can't remember (maybe no NSFW?).
I haven't paid anything since my original Relay Pro fee several years ago and I can still browse porn on Reddit. I dunno what's happening. I did see a pop-up screen a couple of days ago saying it would be changing to a subscription model, but so far it's still working fine. I don't think I'll keep using it when it changes to subscription.
Isn't the price based on how much you interact with the site?
Gonna be a no from me.
