    So he wants to make a user pay to see user generated content? Or even better he wants to make a user pay to create content in a subreddit where a user has to pay to see the content they made after they paid to do that themself?

      Hmm. Sounds like he’s been reading about science research and how publishers make money.

      It sounds ridiculous, but non-free forums have existed for a long time. expertsexchange.com ran pretty successfully for a long time.

      I don’t think Reddit knows how to make that work, and I think it’ll backfire fantastically for their user base, but it’s not impossible.
