Actually I bought Reddit coins at some point (to give Awards) and I'm bothered by this. Hopefully Lemmy will be an alternative or maybe Reddit folks will change their mind. Obviously I'm okay with paying for services in principle but I think it requires that it's voluntary and affordable.

That said, the Reddit Web Frontend is not exactly the best. I've used - and paid - for a native Reddit client actually (Stellar). The app will be sunsetted though.
