I saw this way before Reddit went batshit. I had the pride doge one, it was one of a couple of free ones.
Yes, Reddit is a shit show. But this isn't a new thing they've just done. So I don't know why it's being brought up as ammo now. It's been around for ages. Reddit are assholes, but bringing old stuff into this as if it's brand new, not cool.
Wasn't the original icon free though? Now you only get the pixelated one.
Yeah that's the main thing, the original icon is now paywalled, with the idea being you get this crap looking one until you pay
If you told me reddit was just funded as a giant psychological experiment to see how much shit people will put up with to stay on social media, I might believe you.
This is new because they removed the regular free icon and replaced it with an ugly pixelated one.
