I don't even get how this would work. If you paywalled, say,
/r/gaming
, could you just make a new community called/r/freegaming
? And do the moderators get paid for the communities they created?It all feels really half-baked and a desperate plea for money from investors when the money well is drying up.
Then they'll skate around that by implementing a paywall for creating new subs.
