Spez says $19.99 fee “enhances community dialogue through monetary validation”
I legit cannot tell if this is real or not… it sounds terrible but also something that Reddit would do and think is great.
I could have sworn that reddit did in fact announce a similar system a few weeks ago. Or did I eat an onion?
They announced earlier this month that they’re considering paid subreddits. No idea where that’s at.
But yeah, this satire only works precisely because they’ve specifically expressed their interest in further opportunities for paid subscriptions.
My understanding is that they confirmed that paid subs would come this year
I swallowed the onion whole.
Well, I ate the title. It seems perfectly reasonable to me.
Then it’s not satire.
Love the image. Can only imagine the prompts… “evil lizard men make stupid amounts of money selling utter shit.”?
Don’t give them more ideas.
The present moderation is not too far from this. A lot of the subreddits are just shells of what they used to be. Most posts are purged by some reddit algorithm moderation bot. You can check this yourself with r/usenet.

and give them traffic? no thanks
Does old dot reddit give them traffic? Or you could even use some public redlib instance but you get my point :)
Lol, what a shit show
I ate the onion too. This is 100% something Reddit would do - give it a year and there’s a solid chance you and I will be puking that onion back up as this becomes reality.
