  I wouldn’t be surprised if NSFW subreddit are what he is talking about.

    They know pornhub still exists right?

      tbf pornhub sucks at finding specific content.

      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.

  I wonder what the legality is of that when people are posting content from these porn sites and reddit is charging users to access it. How is this any different than paid piracy streaming sites?

  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.

    Seems like a pretty huge opportunity for Reddit. If the article mentioned it, I missed it.

      It does not mention it and I cannot see any official statement, but that seems like a logical reason. Reddit management however is not famous for being logical so we will see.

  Probably because OF gets a lot of their business through promoting on Reddit.

    So why not cut out OF and keep the users?

      Risk vs reward. I could see reddit swinging either way depending on which they think smells like more money.
