  I think he already got pay-to-search and AI-infiltrated subreddits.

  He’s just trying new combos.

  Imagine if reddit makes porn subreddits paid

    If there’s one thing that united the Internet, it’s don’t fuck with our porn. It’s how Tumbler died, pornhub lost over 95% of their videos, and it’ll put the final nail in reddit if they try it.

      Tumblr isn’t fully dead it is just dying. I still find many people on there posting art.

  They’re already demanding search engines pay to search Reddit; will they have to pay even more to search paid subreddits?

    Maybe the search engines will pass on the cost to the user, so you can pay to search the subreddits you pay again to view. Add a sprinkle of tracking and targeted ads and some email offers from trusted partners, and you’ve got yourself a business model.

  Mods are probably asking for paid subs. They would view it as an easy tool to prevent new spam accounts.

    Wouldn’t private subs solve that?

      Yes, but then no one makes any money

  Redditor staged a coup and overthrew the CEO once before, why isn’t it happening again?

    Because Ellen Pao (the unpopular CEO who was ousted) was set up as the fall guy. Her entire purpose was to be at the helm while Reddit implemented (at the time) unpopular measures that angered the “free speech absolutists”. Once that was done, she was cast aside so the anointed pigboy they have today could claim his promised seat on the throne.

    Because it was Russia overthrowing the CEO to install Spez.

    I firdt read that as ceo nonce. Which makes sense.

  I know the average person usually doesn’t care, but surely most of the population of reddit must have realized how shit it is by now.

  Subscription models are finally coming to Reddit! It’s about time those greedy bastards start milking their userbase.

  Last time I’ve been using search on Reddit (ages ago) normal search already produced shitty, useless results. And now he wants to make it even worse by throwing in AI?
