Infinity going subscription-only!

Infinity Announcement

This morning when I opened Infinity to check Reddit, I saw the announcement above: they're going subscription-only. Ironically enough, I couldn't scroll down to see the rest of the message including prices, if there were any. I also couldn't see if there was a button to close the message or start a paid subscription. I couldn't proceed to Reddit at all. My only option was to close the app completely. So I uninstalled it.

That's it for me using Reddit on mobile! Can't say I'll miss it much. But I added a LOT of content to Reddit that way, so it's their loss. Fuck you, spez!

They should have announced what that subscription fee would be. The fact that they haven't decided yet makes me think that I won't like whatever they decide.

What I see happening is starting at a low monthly fee. Many users will not subscribe/delete Infinity. Now Infinity raises the fee to meet Reddit's demands. Everyone else deletes Infinity.

I was holding out hope that there would be Infinity for Lemmy, but that ship has now clearly sailed.

So I guess its goodbye forever to Reddit.
