View submission: Gold will become "Reddit Premium"
Charter gold member here. Cancelled my auto-renewal after reading this.
I never saw much value in the actual gold membership but looked at it as a reasonable amount of money per year for something I get decent value from. Doubling the annual rate with zero actual enhancements and no discussion is a deal breaker for me. Besides the name being an obvious attempt at marketing the way this was rolled out seems emblematic of a cluelessly desperate desire to generate revenue. C'mon Reddit, do something wortthwhile first and then ask for more money. Don't take the only group of site users actually paying for the service and raise their rates while making it clear that money is the main goal....
There's nothing here!
