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
-
thére are dozens of us
-
if it's the same amount of ppl trying out Linux we might be going places
-
The announcement is why I created a username here. I doubt I'm coming alone.
-
Same here.
-
I wouldn't be too sure just yet, seeing how annoying youtube and it's ads have gotten yet it isn't replaced still.
We might have an increase, but plenty will never leave.
-
I've been online since the late 80s and the Internet, generally speaking, has gone to shit. I've been on Reddit for 16 years and it's been going down the tubes for a while now. Too many people, overzealous mods and now a soft paywall? Yeah, I'm done.
-
Welcome! We can definitely still use a few more people, especially if they’re willing to contribute to content.
-
I was proud of them for those subreddit blackouts, but when communities started to come back online after the mods were threatened with replacement - I knew I had to get out of there for good.
-
Same thing here... I only just discovered Lemmy. I don't know how I managed to only discover it now. But so far so good. It's not quite as active but that's okay, Reddit used to be the same way and was actually better then.
I do feel like the old parts of the internet were decentralized and based on protocols, not single websites. So this is very refreshing and feels like getting back to the roots.
-
Me too.
Man people really like taking a beating.
-
Still no frictionless account migration...
-
Thank you spez for killing reddit, please digg faster
-
That probably is the idea, to have a competitor to Patreon and OnlyFans. They should have probably mentioned that as an example before some people start thinking /r/worldnews becomes paywalled.
-
yep, even from my solo instance
-
We have plenty of clients tho, arctic, mlem, voyager, my favorite thunder, are all available on ios and there are more, they all get updates
-
It’s crazy how everything slowly turns into shit in the end
-
The energy and time I've saved not arguing on reddit is wild, I initally came here defensive and its been so nice
-
great timing for them to lose both of their domains
-
YouTube hasn't been replaced because adblockers still work.
-
Real af, I always talked about missing old reddit and didn't realize the experience I missed was budding over here
