Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO - 9to5Mac

Probably a good thing, imo. Better than selling data for AI farming and blitzing the site with ads. Hopefully it isn’t the start of the entirety of Reddit going behind a subscription wall. Curating private digital communities is a good option.

During the call, the Reddit co-founder said the company would begin testing AI-powered search results later this year [and] that search could one day be a significant source of advertising revenue for the company.

this does not seem to be an alternative to the existing method of profiting from ads etc., but more of an additional way to make loads of money

  Fair, I presume you are correct in how it will be applied. That said, given that Reddit has only ever burned cash, there has to be some connection to gravity…I think?
