I know the lemmy hivemind jumps at any opportunity to trash reddit, but if properly implemented (which to be honest they probably won't ) this could be the same as paid forums back in the day. It just depends on how much of a cut they get and how do they manage revenue share. If you could have your own private forum for free and have people subscribe to it for 2 bucks a month and you get 75% revenue of every sub it would probably spring a lot of high value forums, I'm mostly thinking like car forums used to be but it'd probably be used as another only fans

Hey! Welcome!
I recently joined as well. It's actually very nice here.
Let's make something nice ^_^
That's why I'm here testing Lemmy.
Sad if it ruins reddit since I like that place.
Medium's paywall gets lots of hatred, but at least they use it to pay the authors of the paywalled posts, so it kind of makes sense - you pay to consume content and get payed to create content. But Reddit is a forum, not a blogging platform - the separation between content creators and content consumers is much more blurred. If a subreddit gets paywalled, then the Redditors who create the content there - both the posts and the comments - will need to pay. Which will instantly ruin these subreddits when most of the posters will just take their posts elsewhere.
Did Reddit decide to imitate the business model of academic journals?
Over the last few years I've started to notice this weird increase in people misspelling the word paid as 'payed'. Where is this coming from ?
Second wave of Reddxiters on Lemmy in 3...
Hi
I just joined - in fact this is my first comment. I was tired of my page (and now comment sections) getting flooded with ads.
The Reddit experience isn’t going to get better, it’s just going to get more profitable for shareholders.
Just logged into my year old account, checks out
Hopefully I'm thinking of maybe getting reddit just to copy content to lemmy and to advertise it.
