They should pay me to swallow US regime garbage.
Guys, Gals, my non-binary pals.
I hope you understand the assignment.

The bonfire is about to be lit.
Curious to see the comments about it on Reddit
I wonder how long this will stay up.
Curious as well
You made a great comment showing some easy ways to join Lemmy, and that’s what I appreciates about you!
I appreciates many things about Ms. Katie
Thanks!
It’ll be a great comment for a few hours until Reddit deletes it all and bans OP.
Still up, 600 points, 130 comments
/r/lounge has been a thing for as long as I can remember, and I’m fairly sure you could already make your subreddit be only accessible for accounts with a
GoldPremium subscription.Welcome to Lemmy former redditors
Thanks, I love you too.
The only subreddit you need is
r/redditseppuku
Yeah I signed in for the first time in like a year right after seeing this lol
Thanks. I just switched - apparently just in time!
Me too friend!!
The revolution will be televised; behind a paywall.
The revolution will have a subscription.
You will not own the revolution and you will like it.
Some subreddits, like r/Watchexchange, where Redditors “buy, sell or trade watches,” according to the subreddit’s description, are centered on transactions. Huffman said the fact that users are already “transacting on Reddit kind of opens the door” for such monetization.
“Hey! How dare you exchange things with each other without giving us a cut!”
Whole lot of “Reddit, what are you going to do about the scammers now that we’re paying you?” posts are coming. The answer is nothing. They’ll do nothing.
Actually, they’ll write their lack of culpability more explicitly into the ToS, and then do nothing.

Ugh, aCtUaLly the almighty Reddit Admins and
janitorsModerators will act decisively to ban anyone who dares use the report button.
I’m wondering how they would charge people. Who would pay for a subreddit they’ve never been to? Could a non-paying user view the subreddit but be unable to post/comment?

Doubtful. If I remember the statistic correctly, 95% of social media users are lurkers. Greedy Little Pigboy wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to milk the remaining 19/20 users.
pigs are intelligent beings. Spaz is not intelligent. Don’t insult pigs this way. :
Could easily see certain subreddits being like OF or Patreon. Pay for access to content. Pretty tried and true business model and it will probably work well enough to keep it around.
Even YouTube has “memberships” to channels now where you get bonus content and stuff.
The people that are interested will pay and those that aren’t won’t.
Scroll down a few times and – “THERE’S A WHOLE LOT MORE TO SEE WITH REDDIT+”
and then, get exclusive content, from reddit+ prenium.
Let’s be honest - this will kill many subreddits. Of course some mods will start a paid subreddit next to an existing one and try to bring their users to subscribe. So expect those subs to become like those YouTubers who are constantly trying to push you to their Patreon.
or they allowed subs, but with immense amount of ads: require to watch video, or watch this ad for a certain of time to use it for free. just basing it off how aggressively youtube, facebook does it.
Dollars to donuts it’s going to immediately devolve into an onlyfans competitor
thats why they have been aggressively going after OF subs/bots this month, they arnt getting a slice from the profit they are earning externally. from another forum,(where people flee after getting banned this way) alot of them lost tons of accts recently.
Interesting article. Clearly says the pay groups would be new groups and this wouldn’t affect any existing groups.
Assuming that’s true, all they have to do is close down any sub they want a subscription from. New sub is made, new sub is required.
Subreddit takes on a whole new meaning.
That’s assuming they don’t look at a sub and just say “you’re now paid, congrats” and the mods just go along with it. I can see greedy mods seeing the ability to profit from that kind of forceful hand and then complaining about disengagement.
Sure, until they A- arbitrarily change that once people have gotten used to the new normal, or B- game the system and find an excuse to kill off profitable subreddits knowing the community will just turn around and spin off a new one… thus having to start requiring a subscription.
It’s not like a company would ever lie to the public for money. They definitely wouldn’t ever think of slowly rolling back free services and monetizing them… I mean where would anyone even get that idea about a tech company?
That’s how it always starts, then they’ll widen it a bit more “Ok now we’ll include subreddits that were created within 3 months of announcement” then a bit more “ok now within a year” then a bit more “ok now if it’s a buy/sell subreddit with > 1M subs”
And then before you know it, you need to pay 1.99/month to access r/memes.
Oh but don’t worry! I’m sure they’ll come out with an “unlimited” tier that’s 49.99/month!
probably going to bury the “free” groups til they cant be seen in a feed, and promote the paid ones to the front page 100% of the time. much like how youtube does it, the most “paid” popular channels get 100% front page coverage.
I’m having a good time with my popcorn!
Just keep doing the Fediverse favors Steve!
Just. Fukken. Lol
I know it won’t affect current subs, but the thought of a paid Piracy subreddit is amusing nonetheless.
I’m sure this will turn out great (just kidding, I was using sarcasm there).
You say that but thousands if not millions will buy into it.
We’ll see. Maybe, maybe not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they faked subscriptions just like they fake users.
And it costs very little to do, so anyone who actually pays is automatic profit.
Pedo piss-baby pig-boy Spez should get a visit from a Mario Brother.
