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 https://gizmodo.com/reddit-ceo-says-paywalls-are-coming-soon-2000564245

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 https://warpcast.com/ghostlinkz.eth/0x28287600 https://warpcast.com/ghostlinkz.eth/0x43ea1502

I think it's most logical to do this in test mode and see how interesting it will be for users, but damn, people should pay for good content

it’ll be interesting to see what the value exchange looks like reddit could demonstrate some evolved thinking. or they can leave the door open for something built on fc

agree that they should incentivize good content bc it's hard to find. I was just thinking the other day on how i missed reading the paper every day, but the price went up far too high when most of the information was online. personally i'd prefer for more ads to be added bc i have a pihole at home and it filters them all out. 😀
