minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish28•4 months agoSo he wants to make a user pay to see user generated content? Or even better he wants to make a user pay to create content in a subreddit where a user has to pay to see the content they made after they paid to do that themself?
minus-square@credolink14•4 months agoHmm. Sounds like he’s been reading about science research and how publishers make money.
minus-squareWilliamlink4•4 months agoIt sounds ridiculous, but non-free forums have existed for a long time. expertsexchange.com ran pretty successfully for a long time. I don’t think Reddit knows how to make that work, and I think it’ll backfire fantastically for their user base, but it’s not impossible.
