Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.

Anyways, what communities do you recommend?

As someone who mostly left behind a 13 y/o reddit account with a ton karma when the api nonsense happened, the fuck is reddit premium?

You've never heard of Reddit Premium in 13 years? It's the paid account that got rid of the ads and used to give you a few hundred coins per month. It was like $60/year.

I thought reddit gold was the paid account. I haven't heard of these coins either.

Gold was the standard award up until those in charge saw that they could get more money from people by creating other awards. Coins were the virtual currency used to buy the awards.
