Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO
Psythik@lemmy.world 3 months agoPaid forums? I’ve been on the web since its invention; that one is new to me. What kind of bougieass rich boy websites do you go to that something as bizarre as a “paid forum” is normal for you?

Something Awful has been around since the very early 2000s, and they charge $10 to get an account, and the same to reinstate a banned account. It’s actually pretty nice because the fee tends to keep all but the most dedicated trolls from doing anything particularly stupid. And yes, I know they created 4chan, but the main forums are trying to be better people over the years.

TBF, SomethingAwful is an edge use case. Completely forgot about that because paid forums are not the norm.
