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

I'm surprised they aren't talking about subscriber subreddits. With the amount of porn/OnlyFans posts, I would have thought they could position Reddit as a friendly and familiar OF alternative.
-
Good news for Lemmynites.
-
Hopefully this will drive even more users to switch over. I find myself finding Reddit less useful as time passes by
-
I'm glad I jumped ship back during the ban on 3rd party apps. That was it for me.

-
Anyone who pays for access to “private” content on the shithole site deserves as much mockery as a cybertruck owner. It requires absolutely no self respect
-
Man this reddit site sounds awful
-
One could argue they already did that with Reddit Gold and /r/Lounge.
-
Can I reply to this next week when I stop laughing
-
Sigh unzips pants and fuck u/spez
-
I wouldn't be surprised if NSFW subreddit are what he is talking about.
-
imagine charging for displaying content you didn't even make.
the balls are astounding, but this ain't gonna go well for them.

Same. I had even paid for the paid tier of my 3rd party app because it was such a good value to me that I wanted the devs to have some of my money. Thanks to that app, I was on the site more and pretty much never via computer anymore.
I think it was for the best though. Quality over quantity here. I find it to be far less toxic on Lemmy overall. It's like how people tend to be nicer in a small town because you know you're gonna run into these people over and over again, but the big city you came from had more variety in stuff to check out. Definitely a trade-off, but I think it's worth it to have this much more pleasant space that isn't so packed with content as to be addictive. Good vibes.

Please reddit, make more bad decisions faster so people can overcome switching costs finally
-
The lounge is trash content anyways.
-
If small dick energy had a face it would be Steve Huffman's.
-
Lemmings?
-
Probably because OF gets a lot of their business through promoting on Reddit.
-
Whenever i search for a problem now, most of the posts that contain actual answers are more than a year old, and increasingly out dated.
Fortunately, Lemmy is tech savvy and small enough that I can ask questions without worrying about the down vote brigade.
