One of the remaining 3rd party Reddit apps (Relay) has begun discussing what it would be charging for subscription fees. Imo, they actually seem somewhat reasonable. The weird thing is that every upvote or downvote is an API call so you can rack up a huge number of API calls from voting.

Also, while the costs might be reasonable now, there's nothing preventing Reddit from jacking up prices again.

Edit: Also, there wouldn't be any NSFW content with the app.

Yeah, it's cheaper than Reddit premium so it's kind of strange that you'd get an ad-free option for cheaper than what Reddit officially offers.

Of course it's cheaper. You aren't allowed access to ANY NSFW tagged content, which is probably about 60% of Reddit as a whole, so it's an actively degraded experience.

Is NSFW stuff really that big on Reddit? I only followed subscribed communities and none of them were NSFW focused by any means.

Even finding that content here on Lemmy in C/All I can't say it's the biggest perk of Lemmy.

I know my this is only my opinion, I'm actually kinda shocked there was a lot of backlash because they getting rid of this with 3rd party apps (I was more pissed that my beloved apps were gonna die).

There's a subreddit for everything, including every kink you can imagine.

The API protests/mod purge killed a lot of the quality niche communities, sadly. More than half of my "alt" feed is unmoderated bot spam now.

NSFW is pretty big, yeah. Mind you, that includes all posts tagged as nsfw, even those with only "disturbing imagery" or tagged as a joke in non-nsfw subs. And even if nsfw is not your thing, it's simply the bad principle of segregating user experiences and locking content behind what's effectively a personal data pay wall that stinks to hell.
