To use web.snapchat.com, one must obtain a subscription to Snapchat+ for $3.99/month. This seems to be a reasonable fee for someone that avidly uses the service. I pay $4.99/month (or something) for Reddit Premium, which not only grants me 700 "reddit coins" per month (can be used to purchase awards, etc.), but access to the r/lounge VIP space, and most important of all: removes all advertisements from my Reddit experience; worth every penny.

Snap's press release is vague about what $3.99/month buys you. Specifically, I'm curious whether the paid subscription eliminates advertisements and/or affects how Snap collects and shares paid subscribers' data.

Fake money to buy fake awards for people online? Eh, if you like it I guess

> but access to the r/lounge VIP space

That place is insufferable. Worst kinds of nerd in there.

>removes all advertisements from my Reddit experience; worth every penny.

This should only be an issue if you're using Reddit without an ad blocker on PC, or using the official app surely? Both of which are pretty insane


> access to the r/lounge VIP space

Bunch of nerds pretending to be upper class British people for some reason. Pip pip cheerio old bean gold coloured bowler hats am I right lads. Haha yes my monocle has arrived.

If you're wondering, you're missing nothing.


The paid tier has primarily cosmetic features [0], and it does not eliminate advertisements [1].

That's the killer, I'd happily pay for no ads.


to remove all advertisements isn't old.reddit.com + uBlock Origin the same?
