Tips & Things to Watch For

New Comment Highlighting Can Be Replicated With Browser Extensions

Pro Tip

The Premium feature 'New Comment Highlighting' (showing which comments are new since your last visit) can be achieved free through browser extensions like Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES). This reduces Premium's unique value proposition.

Mobile App Subscription May Be More Expensive

Pro Tip

Subscriptions purchased through iOS App Store or Google Play Store often include a 15-30% platform fee that gets passed to consumers. Direct subscription through Reddit.com may be cheaper. Verify pricing across platforms before subscribing.

What to Expect

Dark Patterns to Watch

  • No direct cancellation link provided on Premium page
  • Cancellation page URL returns 404 error
  • Multiple navigation steps required to reach subscription settings
  • Premium benefits prominently displayed to discourage cancellation

Retention Tactics

  • Lists all premium features you'll lose on the homepage
  • Emphasizes 30% savings on annual plan
  • Shows exclusive perks and premium icons to create FOMO
