I heard Reddit was going to charge subscriptions for subreddits.

Also they banned a bunch of porn and lgbt subs.

Wait is there any validity to that first one?

I know the second one happened for like a day and they tried to say ‘Just a bug!’ thinking no one would see past their totally brilliant cover-up.

That first one would be huge. Maybe a hammer for all the nails they been gathering to their coffin!

In a video Ask Me Anything (AMA) session hosted by CEO Steve Huffman following the company’s quarterly earnings report (which went poorly), the founder and exec said Reddit is actively testing ways to make some content require payment to access and plans to roll out a “paid subreddit” feature later this year.

Supposedly it will just be new subreddits, at least to start.

Way to stifle growth.

Woowww.

I hope it finally kills them. With the economy going to shit and everyone becoming poorer and LESS able to afford subscriptions, what a perfect time to paywall it!
