Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it

  Thats fair, but equally you should read the post.

  Like you have never had to dilute a clickbaity title before…

    What we should do is blame OP for deliberately choosing a title that makes it look worse than it is.

    Just to be clear, by “read the post” do you mean go through all the comments of the mega thread OP shared? That seems unreasonable as opposed to “OP could’ve been clearer”.

    Is there a more summarized version then “all the reddit comments on a mega thread” anywhere?

      By “read the post”, I assume they mean “read the 2nd sentence”.

      The increases range from 20% to 56% in price depending on currency.

      Sure, to verify this claim would take a bit more work. But the comment in question was just “14$ is not 50% more”.

      The more appropriate thing to point out is that the increase in US $ is just 16%, anyway.

        I also made the 16% error lol, math is hard.

        Yeah I realized the difference is unpacking the clickbait as opposed to providing a verifiable claim.

        Ah that’s fair, lol.

        I realized we’re talking about two different things, you’re saying that the post unpacks the clickbait, and I’m saying that there’s no documentation of price increases, which tbf isn’t OPs main point anyways.
