And yet people will remain until the site exists. That's the sad part

A new challenger joins the battle in the Elon / Cloudstrike "ruin an established company any % speed run" challenge?
I can already imagine how many scams this new feature can enable
"Join our private subreddit to unlock the secret to become rich" and then inside all you find is something like "yolo on Intel" and so on
that's why i'm here
They already exist! r/TheLounge is an example, but any sub can lock itself to premium users.
Hey! I just read this on Reddit before I made this account! 🥲
On 2024, July 1, I uninstalled Reddit for good. About two weeks later, I finally made the jump to Lemmy, and added a suffix to my username that reflected on this decision.
I am not looking back.
Sure, if that's how a really popular subreddit pays it's moderators, it's not unreasonable. We just know that isn't what's going on here.
In addition, it would be unreasonable to expect users of a free service to suddenly start paying for it without an extremely huge value boost which there's been no mention of. If anything engagement will certainly go down, further reducing the value.
Seriously i gotta pay to see a flipping subreddit
The dumbest motherfuckers
If I ever become the CEO of a multibillion dollar company, I'm going to say nothing at my first shareholder meeting.
Instead, I'm going to climb up on the boardroom table, remove my trousers and pants and drop a great big shit right there on the desk.
I will then say "That's what we're going to do to our users" and watch in awe as my salary and share price goes through the roof.
I got permabanned from reddit by zionists for calling out their bullshit and saying that Netenyahu should face harsh legal consequences.

i love seeing so many new accounts in the comments
So they want people to possibly pay to visit certain subreddits and the content of those subreddits is most definitely going to stay server submitted and curated. Getting people to pay to be able to submit their own content is going to go over well with the user base. They are probably going to do it with the NSFW subreddits.
Welcome. I came here, when they disabled RIF. Was it a year already?
And that’s one of the reasons that brought me here.
Maybe it was the permanent banning for creating another account trying to talk to a mod that had banned me in a way I thought was harsh, and muted me before I could even speak.
Regardless, Reddit is starting to remind me of when Digg took a massive shit like 15 years ago. And saying that makes me feel old.
As long as I’m not dealing with AI chatbots spamming these communities, I think I’ll like it here.
Damn, so now I gotta use reddit less than I use it already?
Instead of gonewild girls promoting their OnlyFans, maybe now they can promote their paid subreddit lol.
