What do you all think about Reddit paywalls? 

I am pro. I think both Reddit and mods should have the ability to a) monetize and b) keep bots and scrapers out if they want 

It’s unclear how the feature will work as of now and I reserve the right to change my opinion if they don’t cut in the volunteer mods

After pushback from users over paywalled subreddits, it’s interesting to see Reddit attempt to shift the narrative toward supporting "creators" by offering improved profile pages they can link to and use to post content. It kind of sounds like they’re not sure what direction to take.

If Google is serious, there's a big opportunity for YouTube channels to become more like Reddit + Discord communities

Last time I casted about this, it seemed like they weren’t totally clear on the direction. I haven’t watched the latest earnings video, but I think the idea could work if they figure it out without pushing existing users away. If content is placed behind a paywall, it could hurt SEO and lead to a loss of search traffic. On the other hand, a paywall might improve content quality, similar to how Farcaster addressed spam by making channel membership invite-only.

I think Reddit should run the experiment sooner than later since Google/YouTube are coming in hot with similar ideas

It’s a damn shame regulation doesn’t put an end to the bullshit. Google pays Reddit for data, Reddit gets support from Google, but the users creating all the content get way less value than they should

Hard agree with all of this 

They have partnership with G too so SEO impact might be less than we expect
