“I think the existing, altruistic, free version of Reddit will continue to exist and grow and thrive just the way it has,” Huffman said. “But now we will unlock the door for new use cases, new types of subreddits that can be built that may have exclusive content or private areas, things of that nature.”
NSFW subs are exactly where my mind went as well, but monetizing some of that content could prove legally fraught. Instead, I’d wager the scope narrows a bit to a very specific OnlyFans type of model. Weren’t they already looking at paid awards that provide a cash reward to the recipient? Sure sounds like a tipping model to me 🤔
