My guess is he wants to monetize the onlyfans posters. "Subscribe to my subreddit for $5 a month!"
I think this comes down to what the intentions are
Paywall /r/videos? Fuck off.
But create a system like Patreon where a content creator can put their own content and interact with their own users and there's a revenue share between reddit/creator that doesn't sound terrible.
If they're gonna do it on Patreon, why not try and lure them to reddit?

Oh no. anyways
Fuck spez
I'm assuming this is going to be more like a creator space type thing like patreon/OF. It will make reddit worse of course because patreon and OF already exist we don't need reddit for that but as long as they aren't trying to paywall user generated content on existing subs I don't really care that much tbh.
If they paywall my old comments that I've left up to help others I'm going to go back and delete them.
I could also see them banning outside links for patreon etc if they're trying to take over that space and get a cut. Huh, guess they're not happy just getting money from user content, they might feel like they deserve part of the creator's profits as well.
As long as the creator knows what they're getting into when they make a paid subreddit it doesn't really bother me. And it's honestly probably a good plan monetarily for reddit. But just like when games started adding microtransactions it's likely to change the core of reddit even further from what I used to like about it. But I'm on lemmy now anyway...
I got offered a chance to buy into reddit's IPO. Im glad i didn't
Isn't that stock still up?
I just made a Lenny account because of this. Fuck them
I’ve switched to using this as well but it has very little user interaction. I hope it grows and is able to compete with Reddit one day. It would be nice to be able to go to a basketball or political subreddit (what do we call them here?) and actually be able to have a nice conversation.
It would be great to have people like you on https://fediverser.network. Follow the subreddits that you miss from there and use to promote the Lemmy alternatives.
And I hope to see you soon on !nba@nba.space. :)
they're called lemmy communities, and there's plenty of interaction! honestly it reminds me of the old days on Reddit before it ballooned into the monster it is today, I legitimately prefer it in every way other than lacking the niche communities (looking at you !2007scape@lemmy.world >.>)
you can find good political discussion in !politicalmemes@lemmy.world or !news@lemmy.world
dunno if there's any good basketball communities tho, not my bag lol
Thank you! And I like the interactions I’ve had so far. It’s just that I’m a huge NBA fan and that’s where I spent most of my time on Reddit. The nba Lemmy community isn’t very big yet but I’m trying to change that by being more active here. I really enjoy this and it feels like actual discussions can be had here unlike on Reddit.
Lemmy is naturally more focused on technology, so sports communities will probably continue to be mostly on Reddit.
It doesn't have to be this way. There are instances focused only on basketball, soccer, American Football, Tennis...
"Sub" is a generic term from the BBS days, short for "subforum", "subcommunity", whatever, so I just use that. I don't like to use "community" because it's long and clunky.

Porn, they're going to monetise it.
I always wondered when they will do it. They have the set up.
Yup, this is going to be their first stop
So they will make money of people's nudes and they will still expect them to post them for free?
Or maybe they will share it with users? but still this isn't good for actual communities.
