  Proof of concept for allowing super users to have a patreon model maybe?

  Though I can’t remember the last time there were site wide famous users. Last I remember is that bird lady.

  If this is their endgame the bot problem would get even worse as the value proposition improves for abusers

  So…this is for porn.

  Only if those subreddits have something where the user… creating that gets a portion of every subscription payment.

    Not only that, reddit won’t be able to take more that 15% in order to be competitive with onlyfans. And also, the subs will have to be exclusive to one creator otherwise how would you spread payments

  Only if it’s a competitive model, only fans takes 15%, not sure about patreon and other platforms. So reddit will need not more that 15% for creators to want to participate.

    OK, so you’ve laid out they’re likely to do.

  But… How? What’s stopping people from cross posting ? Creating new subreddits that mirror closed ones?

  I mean that’s a lot of effort for very little reward…

  All the big companies trying to clear out the porn to make it monetisable, only for porn to be the answer all along…
