Cool. I been permabanned from reddit for as long as I remember. They can suicide with this stupid paywall idea. They'll have only themselves to blame.
Do the people who provide all of Reddit's content need to pay a subscription in order to provide Reddit their content?
Serfs must pay their taxes.
It will be porn subs, onlyfans style
I always suspected that was their Plan B when everything else fails.
Edit: That would explain the accidental banning of all NSFW subs a week ago. Some testing in reddits usual incompetent ways.
What a trap that would be.
"Please pay to access a sub to see endless 20 second teasers for OF content."
Fuck u/spez
Happy to let/watch him continue to enshittify that platform in it's entirety...
🤣😂
Here's to hoping more users jump ship to Lemmy.
More surprised this hasn't happened already.
The NSFW subs are the most logical targets. It can be spun as those mean advertisers not wanting to be on the same page as someone getting spitroasted. But it also has the added benefit of making any "protest" of flagging a board as NSFW almost immediately anger the users more than the corporate staff because those jokes about how paw patrol is NSFW means that "nobody" can access it anymore. Although, that might run afoul of the various puritan laws the US is pushing to get rid of porn sites.
I also fully expect there to be a way to restrict comments to subscribers either on a per board basis or site overall. Stuff like fauxmoi already get off on only allowing "regulars" to comment (which massively boosts engagement) and I can see places like squaredcircle turn that on for any AMA to avoid the problems of people tearing into shitheads who just want to advertise their book.
Lol, please do it.
There are a number of option of how to monetize the platform.
You could
- paywall nfsw subs as suggested in the other comments
- limit the number of subs a free account can access in one day
- limit the number of comments a free account can post daily
- add some sort of paid tag for everyone to see
I'm sure there are a lot of other ways that make reddit inconvenient for free accounts.
No one complained about TotalFark. I’d say that’s paid done pretty decently.
So, Patreon then.
Just do it already.
Are they that deep in Deep Shit Creek?
