Home assistant, and some zigbee solution (i use a conbee usb stick)

That’s a laughably low amount. If it were that cheap, reddit would throw out all unpaid mods and do it themselves. That’s less than 1% of their revenue, and they would have total control over their site, that would be a bargain. That would be 200 minimum wage workers full time. I’m pretty sure 200 fulltime workers is waaaaaaaayyyyyy too few to moderate ALL of reddit… (and this is just looking at time investment, never mind experts in their field moderating subreddits about very specific topics.)

Reddit boasts about 400.000.000 users, so with 200 mods, that would be… 1 (minimum wage) mod per 2 million users… Yeahhh… that’s gonna work XD

It seems all reddit pricing is made to keep you away from anything that would give you control over what you see. The price of Reddit premium is about as realistic as the price they set for the API. Reddit seems to make at most 1$/year in advertising per user, so to block ads it’s 40$/year O_o… And they’ll still track & manipulate you in all kinds of other ways…
