#Reddit #enshittification continues apace.
“Huffman previously showed interest in potentially introducing a new type of subreddit with "exclusive content or private areas" that Reddit users would pay to access.”
“Huffman also said that Reddit is “laying the foundation” for the ability to monetize commerce within subreddits this year, including when Reddit users buy something from another user via discussion on a subreddit.”
“Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform.”
To be honest, adding a paid marketplace system is actually not a bad idea, especially if they can provide escrow/anonymization services to reduce risk from both buyer and seller. But the rest…yeah, not so much.
