      Nah. That was the classical period of the internet with great leaps in learning and creativity. Now it is the middle ages where capitalism/feudalism wrecked all sense of community.

    I can’t find a link, but I saw an article the other day that said /r/assholedesign was going to be one of the first in protest of the move.

    No existing subreddits will be affected by this according to the post I read when this news was first announced, so unless something changed…no current sub will be paywalled.

    But it’ll probably be something stupid like a crypto bro sub and porn.

    Have you tried asking on Reddit? Or searching the internet? Why are you posting this as a question on asklemmy? This seems like one of the worst ways to get that information

    There’s not a single subreddit I will pay to visit, there’s also not one I would have paid to visit in the past. Fuck Spez, fuck Musk, and fuck censorship…

    The porn. Right now the porn subreddits are mostly advertising for subscription sites like OnlyFans, Fansly, Patreon, etc. Reddit definitely thinks they can stop being used to advertise subscription sites and just become one themselves.

    They will start with the porn. That’s where they’ll get the least pushback. Then it will spread to all NSFW subreddits.

      The goal is to indoctrinate people 10-30 with these values so if anything, it will be promoted to the front page more often and free. More eyes= more conversions.

      I login to lemmy often enough that I would notice. Lemmy grew a lot overnight the last time reddit pissed off a lot of their userbase with one decision. There’s good and bad to that, it was nice to see this place grow, but it became much less friendly when redditors flocked here. I’d expect more of that.

        Interestingly, often times it was the old users who were the most toxic as a result of this, aggressively citing Eternal September and going elitist.

        So, we can do a lot to prepare on our end.
