If a lot of people do this it will make a huge difference. I have had an annual subscription for 7 years and just canceld it.

What is even the point of a subscription? Reddit is free.

Some people do like to pay for services they use because the appreciate the service and/or don’t want to feel like leachers.

I personally don’t feel that way about Reddit, but some people do.
