Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO

I don’t even get how this would work. If you paywalled, say, /r/gaming, could you just make a new community called /r/freegaming? And do the moderators get paid for the communities they created?
It all feels really half-baked and a desperate plea for money from investors when the money well is drying up.

Post submitters would have to get a cut to encourage them to post OC on the pay subs and file takedowns if anyone else reposted their content elsewhere. I think it could only work for single user subs.

Then they’ll skate around that by implementing a paywall for creating new subs.
