Not even if they were the last SM on earth as far as I’m concerned.

What is everyone’s thoughts on how that shit show is going to play out ?

    I’m reading this as a play to allow communities to have their own paid for areas and Reddit takes a cut in exchange for hosting this.

    I recall a while back they were looking at a way to financially compensate major contributors and moderators, so possibly this idea is being revisited in a way.

    Right now though, most people contribute to communities to share their knowledge or creativity and to connect with others- and monetisation might be there in the background but isn’t a first class feature of the platform. It makes business sense to make this play, even though it’ll make the site worse.

    To conclude: Reddit becomes an only fans competitor. Calling it now.
