Honestly, I was getting a good ad-free experience with RIF for many years and I enjoyed it. I don't see how anyone could have made money off of me for that. If 3rd party app/API access were only available with Reddit Gold, it wouldn't have been the most unreasonable idea in the world. This kinda sorta works like that. I'd almost consider it, but between the shit moves (read: outright lies) Spez was making, recent coin fuckery, and Lemmy content only getting better with time... Nah.

The way things are going, I'm pretty sure NSFW content on Reddit will be nixed within the next year. Hopefully that drives another influx this way.

Just wait until they axe old.reddit. I'm sure that will trigger the next exodus.
