This will be good. They will eventually drive everyone away!
Just. Fukken. Lol
I know it won't affect current subs, but the thought of a paid Piracy subreddit is amusing nonetheless.
I forget the word for this, outpoopification? Insufficification? It escapes me.

I hate reddit as much as the next guy but from time to time I find myself searching in subreddit like newborns, New parents etc. These subreddits do have a lot of experience shared from the past which has not yet come over to lemmy. And now reddit is pulling this subscription shenanigans I'm like WTF??
The article says it won't affect existing free subreddits. It's also worth pointing out that Reddit Lounge (a subreddit exclusive to Reddit premium members) has been a thing for a long time. So really, this probably isn't that big of a deal, Reddits most profitable asset is its huge user base and I don't think they're dumb enough to torpedo it. Then again, look at what happened to tumblr, you never know...

Just remember, when the barrier to entry is low then the quality of participants declines.
Edit: I just realized that I should have specified an intellectual barrier. In the case of Lemmy that's the minuscule technical understanding or research ability needed to sign up and get on an instance. It's amazing how just that tiny obstructions helps keep out the dumbest of Reddit users.
Each time I visit a reddit link and see the word "Deleted" in OPs post, my heart fills with joy.
CEO, tell me you don't know what you're doing without saying you don't know what you are doing.

Is fine hosting nazis and now is getting internal paywalls. I didn't know spez wanted to be Substack so bad.
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.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
