I heard Reddit was going to charge subscriptions for subreddits.

Also they banned a bunch of porn and lgbt subs.

Wait is there any validity to that first one?

I know the second one happened for like a day and they tried to say ‘Just a bug!’ thinking no one would see past their totally brilliant cover-up.

That first one would be huge. Maybe a hammer for all the nails they been gathering to their coffin!

Supposedly it will just be new subreddits, at least to start.

Way to stifle growth.

Woowww.

I hope it finally kills them. With the economy going to shit and everyone becoming poorer and LESS able to afford subscriptions, what a perfect time to paywall it!
