Ha. Line must go up or it affects the stock price. Profit first, users last.

While I look forward to the continuing demise of Reddit, I'm not looking forward to the influx of even more Redditors.

So...this is for porn.

Only fans, but on Reddit.

I suspect it will work out sickeningly well for them.

nice. This won't backfire

It'll anger Redditors but they'll gladly hand over their money

Posts like this remind me just how grateful I am for the Fediverse.

I dont usually upvote posts about Reddit...

...but when i do they're shooting themselves in the foot

I mean, wasn't that what /r/lounge was for?

Why do all of these companies decide they are so tired of existing?

They already are. They put all nsfw content behind a privacy paywall (pay with email and browsing habits). Luckily it can still be subverted through old.reddit.com - but the question is for how long.

The dumbass does not have an original idea or vision in his body. After turning his users into consumer goods, now he's just thinking about reddit r/lounge 2.0 and combining it with reddit awards 2.0 and reddit talk 2.0. First of all, that only works if moderators get payed or you get some extremely gullible and power hungry ones, which for the first I doubt his money scrounging self could allow and for the second, that's the problem, and additionally, that will open up a whole can of worms that reddit certainly has deserved for some time now, people suing if they are banned from these communities, specially if it was due to personal fickle prerogative of one of the mods.

I hate how everything has to be monetized nowadays, or how money is to be expected for everything. Eventually people who provide free service or altruism will be seen as competition.
