Reddit, a platform founded in part on the premise of openly and widely sharing information, is ready to put up some paywalls. In a video Ask Me Anything (AMA) session hosted by CEO Steve Huffman following the company’s quarterly earnings report (which went poorly), the founder and exec said Reddit is actively testing ways to make some content require payment to access and plans to roll out a “paid subreddit” feature later this year.

Welcome aboard! If you still have a reddit account, I'd encourage you to spread the love to other frustrated redditors - best way to do that that I'm aware of it to edit as much of your comment history as possibly to replace it with a how-to on getting started with the fediverse. Idk if it's smoother now, but it was kinda overwhelming when I bounced over here a couple years ago.
