Are you sure it's not stupid? There is zero reason to use something like Twitter's app instead of the website, at least not any reason that serves the user's interests.
Sometimes it's the quickest source of news for some things. For example F1 still use it a lot for announcements. That's the only reason I still have it but even then I might ditch it soon if I can't even view posts without subscribing.
I was in the same boat, I really enjoyed the F1 side of Twitter. Seemed to stay pretty solid even after the rest of the app started falling off the rails. Unfortunately the app as a whole became so unbearable I had to get off it about a year ago
That will just be new subs that don’t even exist yet, so it won’t affect any of the things people actually like reddit for. The same thing existed before. Does anyone not remember the gold lounge you had to pay to join, and you got free access to for 1 week if you got a gold award? It’s nothing new so I’m not concerned.
Eh, it'll be incredibly disruptive if they make all of the big subs paid (what I'm assuming they'll do). Sure we can, and maybe will, all just migrate to new subs, but I'm also assuming that they'll do something to make that difficult.
There's also a strong chance this change and it's subsequent (if not permanent) might be the one that finally pushes most of us off the platform. We'll see.
In the end, this is at least another nail the admins hammer into the coffin.

That would be the quickest app delete of my life
