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

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.

Repost bots are already rampant on big subs, but it would get so much worse if those bots could generate continual revenue.

I thought Tinder's most expensive tier costing $500/month was a joke, but it's actually a thing. Someone somewhere is paying $500 for Tinder every single month. Wild.
-
Some mods would do it. I don't know why, but they would.

i too deleted my 15-Year Club reddit account

How is this new? Reddit gold gave you access to the subreddit that only gold members could access. It didn't have anything good in it as everyone would rather have a larger reach.
If he intends to convert an existing sub to it, he will quickly find how much people are happy to more to a new sub.

That's why I'm here. Just made an account. Sick of everything being a goddamn subscription.
-
Welcome, I joined here after the API protests. It's a smaller community so content is slow to move but it's nice to have forums where you're having constructive conversations with people, not a huge amount of bots or repeated to death catch phrases
Enjoy this little bastion before it attracts mainstream attention.

What's Reddit? A clone of Lemmy?
