Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO

I’m assuming this is going to be more like a creator space type thing like patreon/OF. It will make reddit worse of course because patreon and OF already exist we don’t need reddit for that but as long as they aren’t trying to paywall user generated content on existing subs I don’t really care that much tbh.
If they paywall my old comments that I’ve left up to help others I’m going to go back and delete them.

I could also see them banning outside links for patreon etc if they’re trying to take over that space and get a cut. Huh, guess they’re not happy just getting money from user content, they might feel like they deserve part of the creator’s profits as well.

As long as the creator knows what they’re getting into when they make a paid subreddit it doesn’t really bother me. And it’s honestly probably a good plan monetarily for reddit. But just like when games started adding microtransactions it’s likely to change the core of reddit even further from what I used to like about it. But I’m on lemmy now anyway…
