He suggested that the company might experiment with paywalled subreddits as it looks to monetize new features. “I think the existing, altruistic, free version of Reddit will continue to exist and grow and thrive just the way it has,” Huffman said. “But now we will unlock the door for new use cases, new types of subreddits that can be built that may have exclusive content or private areas, things of that nature.”

Frankly, it sounds like he wants to take on OnlyFans, or more prosaically, Patreon? I guess? I suppose as a platform to host paid interactions with people who think they have unique content and interesting takes, Reddit’s as good as any, but the upside seems limited here.

I would like this idea if the paid subreddits weren’t also scraped for AI training. I’m not paying to feed LLMs. But I’m increasingly getting into private communities.

Yeah every time I was rewarded gold and would get access to that sub it was nothing more than a big circle jerk of people posting how they got gold. Nothing engaging was ever dicussed.

My initial reaction was to get pissed, but then I remembered I don’t care anymore.

Reddit policies now affect me as much as National Holidays in Mongolia.

The only way that it’ll affect us is if they paywall existing subreddits that contain a ton of useful information. But you can’t even find that information half the time anymore anyway, so I guess it’s a wash.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
