Not even if they were the last SM on earth as far as I’m concerned.
What is everyone’s thoughts on how that shit show is going to play out ?
im cool with. pay wall them all. remove the accounts and all their data and history for those freeloaders who don’t pay.
You aren’t very bright are you.
does that need a /s. I don’t feel like it should need one. Anyway I don’t care what reddit does or does not do and I would think they would epically fail but twitter is still around sooo…
Could make sense. If they’re smart, they’re trying to get a cut of the “exclusive Discord”, patreon, Substack kind of money flow.
If they’re wildly stupid, they’ll try to take over and paywall popular existing subreddits.
hmmm …a balanced well thought reply…Thank you. I’d tend to agree with this analysis.
I think about it as much as I do Facebook, twitter, and the turd I flushed this morning.
Please just end this site already.
Im not sure what’s worse, this site or whatever crap twitter is now.
I’m afraid it is still super useful for finding a quick answer to obscure Linux support questions.
So lets say they paywall the linux forum you’re interested in … What is your next step ?
Piracy, of course. Maybe archive.org?
So fuck reddit?
We get around it! :)
Yarrr lad.
That’s true. The unfortunate downside of centralising or collective knowledge in private hands
I’m reading this as a play to allow communities to have their own paid for areas and Reddit takes a cut in exchange for hosting this.
I recall a while back they were looking at a way to financially compensate major contributors and moderators, so possibly this idea is being revisited in a way.
Right now though, most people contribute to communities to share their knowledge or creativity and to connect with others- and monetisation might be there in the background but isn’t a first class feature of the platform. It makes business sense to make this play, even though it’ll make the site worse.
To conclude: Reddit becomes an only fans competitor. Calling it now.
Does this just mean they want to be only fans and basically paywall all the porn subreddits?
I’m not sure if this is a good idea. Would people seriously pay just to access some subreddit? Why wouldn’t they go on another forum?
