Worse than the conversion rate, Google will most certainly deindex the Reddit pages if they are not available as webpages.

But surely Reddit has already calculated that “[search query] + Reddit” is traffic they don’t care about?

I’d venture to bet that they respond to google with a different version of the page, without the pop up.
Isn't that also something Google delists pages for?
Used to.

Nowadays Google is equally user-hostile and is happy to accommodate its peers.

I think most news sites with paywalls do this? If you change your UserAgent to Googlebot you can bypass them.
