The announcement page kind of really sucks at explaining what this even is. Most importantly, does the money go to reddit (in which case lol no), or to the actual people running the sub (in which case it at least makes a very slight bit of sense for supporting smaller subs). And also if the fee is per sub (which would be incredibly expensive), or for the whole of reddit once this rolls out to other subreddits.
Although even if it's for the whole of reddit that price is just too much. $5 for some emoji and a colored username? lol. And if it was for the entire site, then your money would be going to reddit instead of to the sub, which would also suck.
I guess they're trying to rip off Twitch, but don't most people sub to twitch channels using credit you get from the prime sub instead of paying for it? Plus the money there goes to the streamer, who you at least see and can sort of interact with. Even if the money goes to the sub, it'll be going to a bunch of faceless moderators who people probably don't care about.
And how will this even work with old reddit or with third party mobile apps? At this point it feels like they're really going to start forcing people to use the crappy new design or the even crappier official mobile app.
