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
-
Second influx to the Fediverse?
-
The key part here is that (at least initially...) they won't put any existing subreddits behind a paywall. So users' habits won't really be interrupted.
-
Yes same. I don’t want to be stressed out by the internet anymore. I want internet for millennials back.
Nice to meet you, everyone’s been so lovely thus far.
-

-

-
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.
