From the article it sounds more like they want to introduce paid communities... which is not a bad idea.

Many content creators have some sort of paid community, so if Reddit can take some of that market it could out work well for them.

There’s a mod comment on WSB saying that they were invited to get pay-walled, and refused.

It will be interesting to see if Reddit forces them to anyway.

Just realized that I had posted a non-old.reddit link from mobile. My mistake.

Paywalling /r/wallstreetbets of all things is such a terrible financial decision it's actually fitting.
Honestly just sounds like reddit wants to get some of the only fans money, reddit is already filled with only fans girls advertising but they're not getting a actual cut of it.
More akin to patron or medium /substack I guess. They won't go all in on the NSFW only fans type of creators I'm sure.
possibly, but taking money opens them up to the headache of visa mastercard issues relating to adult content. increased attention could get them removed from the app stores. they could also remove it
