“I think the existing, altruistic, free version of Reddit will continue to exist and grow and thrive just the way it has,” Huffman said. “But now we will unlock the door for new use cases, new types of subreddits that can be built that may have exclusive content or private areas, things of that nature.”

That's nothing new though. With reddit premium you already got access to exclusive sub's.

I mean people that didnt care about what reddit has done so far, will probably not care for this either and pay anyways, so they figured why not milk the idiots that are left.

r/BigBooty is going to be bone dry...

Unless Reddit actually monetizes the process for content creators, in which case, we need them to open up their books - because then they'll be running a marketplace.

Probably a good thing, imo. Better than selling data for AI farming and blitzing the site with ads. Hopefully it isn't the start of the entirety of Reddit going behind a subscription wall. Curating private digital communities is a good option.
