Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO

If Reddit were run by competent people, I’d think that paywalled subs might be a good idea. I imagine that there are countless scenarios where people have really useful info to share, but at the same time, said info can’t be spread too widely, and a paywall is one way of making sure that only people who truly care about said info can take advantage of it.

The first thing that comes to mind is credit card point redemptions. Right now, the best information on getting stuff like free first class flights are on communities like FlyerTalk. If that info was super accessible, those opportunities wouldn’t be available in the first place, and travel companies would be far less generous with rewards programs.

Piracy, drm bypass, hacked firmwares, zero days vulnerabilities, low volume deals, good drug plugs, hip artist spaces and bunch of other shit that gets ruined by being too popular

So a legitimate publicly traded company should pay wall illegal shit? Bro
