REDDIT CEO SAYS PAYWALLS ARE COMING SOON

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Reddit's CEO Steve Huffman said during a video Ask Me Anything Session recently that the platform is actively testing ways to make some content paid. Reddit is planning to roll out a 'paid subreddit' feature later this year. The paid content model is still a work in progress - there are many issues to work out, such as how paid subreddits will be moderated, as volunteer moderators likely won't want to watch over paid content if they aren't getting paid themselves. It may be possible for Reddit to allow creators to put certain content behind paywalls - lots of creators have their own subreddits, which allow community conversation in a way that comments on Patreon posts don't totally allow for.
