Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform
-
They're not mutually exclusive.
-
It is the Onlyfans girls farming simps.
Keep in mind Reddit wants to wall off NSFW to be more advertiser friendly, and therefore more profitable.
-
That's why I left. I regret nothing.
-
If the paid subreddits pay out to the creators, that seems like an okay feature. Also dipping into the Patreon market.
-
Don’t be mistaken, he and his board will make tons of money from this. Everyone is rooting for the demise of the site, but the bad guys will win. So what everyone liked will be gone and dead, and those parasites will be even richer.
-
I’m so glad I left.
-
Not a great decision from Reddit.
-
It’s slowly becoming twitter/x
-
Get fuuuuuuucked, Reddit
-
It's been obvious for a while that spez is trying to be a Musk/Zuck.
-
I almost wish Elon would buy it, so he can "manage" it like he did Twitter
-
I have eaten far too much popcorn this far, but will keep watching the collapse. My account is 17 - 18 years old at this point but I have not logged in for at least a year.
-
I had the exact same experience except that I never got onto Insta because Meta bought it.
-
I disagree that Reddit has good content but even bad content is better than no content for communities that haven’t been built here yet
-
I'm more of a LemSerf
-
What's "reddit" and why does Lemmy seem obsessed with it?
-
Its never been a better time to ignore reddit
-
Man I kinda thought they had already hit enshittification bottom. And then they bring out the backhoe and dynamite.
-
Oh I’m sure that for one reason or another many of these free subreddits will end up migrating. Feature/moderator tool stagnation, potential payment or rev share models, plain old BS reasons to close existing subs.
Whatever the excuse, their next move will be to shift big subreddits over, maybe starting with popular but more niche subs, then pivoting from there.
Anything that is niche, dominating in terms of Internet presence for that interest, and potentially tied to folks who have more disposable income.

I just left, deleted my account of 15ish years tonight, no regrets. Happy to be here.
