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 think this article has been posted here before
Yes it was satire.
Well, I ate the title. It seems perfectly reasonable to me.
I swallowed the onion whole.
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.
Does old dot reddit give them traffic? Or you could even use some public redlib instance but you get my point :)
Love the image. Can only imagine the prompts… “evil lizard men make stupid amounts of money selling utter shit.”?
Et Al, why are you always posting rage bait that barely even qualifies as satire?
Lol, what a shit show
You're not supposed to eat the onion bro
Lmao, damn, I forgot to check what community this was. I definitely believe that they would do such a shitty thing, though.
Satire is truly dead
Yep lmao
It is 100% believable.
