I created this for one purpose: if they care about their users, they will allow it to be posted. The beauty of Bored Panda has always been that we could access free content of various types to scroll through during our downtime, but then they added premium. The new premium membership system has taken the fun out of Bored Panda. They are now restricting our ability to view the wonderful content we love. They have also taken away our dark mode, which makes prolonged scrolling much easier on the eyes. I'm not against a premium subscription program, but it has to be fair—free users should be able to scroll through entire posts and use dark mode to avoid eye strain.

If you agree with this post, answer by stating what Bored Panda means to you and how this new premium subscription makes you feel. Bored Panda is not a place only for people who can afford it; it’s also for people like me who are just barely getting by and use Bored Panda to unwind and release the stresses of the world. It is a place for people of all financial levels to vent and laugh. Don’t let them take that away from us.

yep. i'm a minor in a non-english speaking country and can't pay for this. it's frustrating because the boredpanda community has mostly always been a supportive one for me, and part of that is interacting with comments and posts, of which now get cut off at list 49? I don't like it much because boredpanda has become quite restricting now, and i don't understand the sudden reason for change? we already had a lot of pop-up ads on this site to generate money i assume.

    Total bollocks. Half the list behind a pay wall? I cannot see my own content. Making the people who populate this site pay is f*****g stupid, BP are turning away the regulars, destroying the community. Turning away the very people that come to this site? Well done BP. Bravo.

    And all the forced ads? When you have ad blockers you get pop ups saying you are blocking ads. Of course I am, they are becoming a pain. Even half the daily posts are links to Amazon to order c**p online.
