Removing the ability for free users to post images on Gab is a failure condition for Andrew Torba's "parallel economy" concept. It means the site isn't going to grow: it's going to shrink. Especially since there are superior alternatives which aren't trying to nickel and dime for basic features every other platform has for free. I would understand limiting videos to subscribers only and imposing some image resolution limits on free users, (no 4K images, nothing over 2 MB) but this is the last straw in a long series of bad decisions. From now on, I don't expect to be checking or following Gab. You can follow me on X at https://twitter.com/McLeanBen
