Other than OF-style content, what exactly are they planning to paywall?
Via Reddit
That's a satire article
In case they want to visit that subreddit: [email protected]
Could please share the article from the screenshot? The one where he says he wants to paywall r/asshole design?
So basically anything goes in terms of content...
EDIT: The reference to assholedesign is a joke, the first part is legite (that they are generally considering paywalled subs).
I'm sharing the screenshot posted to Reddit, I haven't seen the article. You can follow the link to the Reddit thread.
Cheers!
OF content would be a massive money maker. That might be enough to justify the whole project
Don't underestimate Reddit coomers. They gots to coom and they'll pay to coom.
If they paywall their porn, the site tumblrs off a cliff.
Not just paywall their porn, also force linking:
Payment method and thus Identity to reddit account
Identity to whatever degenerate shit you like to get off to.
That's why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullshit over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.
I should probably scrape the top 250 from this past year from my favorite 20 or so subs manually or find some automated way that still works 🤔
Beautiful turn of phrase.
