The company doesn’t care. They don’t actually understand what reddit is/was and have decided they want it to be something else that they can squeeze money out of. Whatever they end up with is going to be bland and nothing like what it was before. Doubt it will get them what they want in the end.
Real people who don’t expect something back in return from you is what made reddit special. Advice is given because someone wanted to help as opposed to wanting a like, subscribe, notification bell, patron, merch store, etc. Now they want to turn into into some influencer platform full of people trying to sell shit whether it’s themselves or some crap.
Exactly. People on Reddit usually don’t have any incentive to lie about e.g. the quality of a fridge brand. Give them an incentive and it immediately becomes as useless as Google seo spam
Also its a forum and its appeal is asking questions to real people. Paying users will destroy that appeal.
