Titled, “This was in my Instagram notifications…What even is this?! I guess Mackenzie and Rhine [sic] are tight on money.”
The Reddit post shared a screengrab of an Instagram notification offering a subscribing to Mackenzie’s account.
Priced at $4.99 per month, the subscription to @mackedwards95 would include a special “subscriber Badge”, access to “exclusive content”, as well as entry to a ‘subscriber group chat.”
Fans rushed to the comment thread to give their take on Mackenzie’s new pay-to-play subscriber content.
One Redditor wrote: “Why would anyone pay for this snooze fest lol.”
A second person agreed, commenting “Lmao!! Who in their right mind would pay this woman to view her posts?”
“What the f**k…who is going to sign up for this? They weren’t even [the] main people on the show,” added another.
While a fourth fan commented: “Instagram is ruining itself nobody asked for this.”

One well-informed Redditor shared background information on Mackenzie and Ryan’s supposed financial situation, commenting “When [Mackenzie’s] ex got primary custody it was in court documents she was making $105k a year.”
They continued, “It’s been confirmed the original dads make the same as original moms [for] filming and Amber was cited in court documents making $600k a year.”
The Redditor concluded, “So Ryan and Mackenzie just went from $705k/season to zero. She’s delusional thinking this will solve that.”
“Pathetic. I wouldn’t expect anything less from the snake who married a very high Ryan,” chimed another fan.
One fan asked, “Are they off the show?”
Another responded, writing “Yes they were fired…Maci said they go or I go.
BYE BYE RYE
Ryan, 34, himself claimed that he, Mackenzie, 25, and the rest of the Edwards family were dismissed due to his ex-fiance Maci Bookout no longer wanting them on the show.
Ryan exclusively told The U.S. Sun: “Maci is in fear that my mom and dad will start telling the truth.
He then added, “She will always fight to have us off the show.”
The Teen Mom alum later confided, “MTV does not really stand for anything we believe in or support.”
Mackenzie told the YouTube channel Without a Crystal Ball that they were fired because Maci’s agent wanted the show to focus more on her life instead.
She said: “We just got a call yesterday from Morgan [J. Freeman] and Larry [Musnik] at MTV and Maci’s agent went above their heads and went to Viacom.
Adding that “they wanted to focus on all of Maci’s abilities and her … whatever she does, and that we took up the time on the show that she could be using to show all that.”
BREAKUP FIGHT
The Edwards clan were booted following a blowout fight between Ryan’s dad Larry and Maci’s husband Taylor McKinney, 33, during a Teen Mom reunion special.
The Sun can exclusively reveal tensions were already running high between the show’s producers and Ryan before that.
He claimed the last straw for him came when he found out that they had taken down a US flag on his front porch, as production said it was “in their way.”
Ryan told The Sun: “What got me is when they took my flag down off the porch. They laid it on the ground and when I went down to pick it up they told me it was in their shot.
“I got real angry because it was an American flag and they said it was in their way. I said ‘Either put it back on the post or leave’ and that was the last time they ever came back, I guess.”
Ryan added that he and Mackenzie were contemplating leaving the show before the firing.
He explained: “MTV just stands for a lot of things that my wife and I don’t support, politics and respecting people’s rights, that kind of stuff.
“I just don’t agree with them on a lot of stuff and I didn’t want to work for someplace that was like that anymore, they were just way too far out there for me.
“Mackenzie and I were discussing, ‘Do we really want to do this anymore?’ and then I guess they made the decision for us, which was a good decision.
“And then Maci didn’t want us on the show anymore either.”
Speaking about his life since moving on from Teen Mom OG, Ryan said: “We’ve been doing good since leaving the show, just kinda hanging out. Everybody’s happy and enjoying not dealing with MTV.
“I’m not resentful, MTV is all about making money and s***, and that’s alright.
