    This is actually really good to hear because I have a bridge I’ve been trying to sell so having a whole community that I know is full of the most gullible people on the internet will really speed up the process

    It is why I am here, the straw that broke the camels back. So at my wits end with it. From killing third party apps, forced ads jammed inbetween every post/comment, declining communities, autobans on nonsense, a UI that forces misclicks into awards instead of upvoting, and this paywall is only a signal of worse to come as they monetize content that is not even their own!

      I am here because i got perma banned in such a short time for being pro ukraine. Nothing happened for 7 years same behaviour and phrasing of comments. Then suddenly openly posting pro ukraine and BOOM 3 Days then 7 days then perma.

      And fuck reddit

      probably thats why reddit has banned OF accs en masse recently, they couldnt get money from thier OF promotions. im betting with the paid system, they will allow some form of approved botting for those channels in the form advertisements.

        OF creators have to go through a rigorous process to verify themselves. I can’t imagine reddit doing anything close to that, but I might be wrong. If not, it will be a playground for scammers and stolen content.

      That describes all capitalist businesses. They always eventually cannibalize their own customers and services once growth slows.

    Since Reddit is only a platform and the users provide the content (well mostly bots and reposts now), does that mean Reddit will pay users for their content? Personally, I wouldn’t pay one cent to read posts.

      the addicted powermods will fall in line, i bet and hide some of thier larger subs behind a paywall as premium content. i see the political subs doing this r./politics, r/news, r/conservatives these only 3 i know are the top subs especially since they are spammed on the front page.
