I legit cannot tell if this is real or not… it sounds terrible but also something that Reddit would do and think is great.
I could have sworn that reddit did in fact announce a similar system a few weeks ago. Or did I eat an onion?
They announced earlier this month that they're considering paid subreddits. No idea where that's at.
But yeah, this satire only works precisely because they've specifically expressed their interest in further opportunities for paid subscriptions.
Yes it was satire.
