    Assuming that’s true, all they have to do is close down any sub they want a subscription from. New sub is made, new sub is required.

    Subreddit takes on a whole new meaning.

      That’s assuming they don’t look at a sub and just say “you’re now paid, congrats” and the mods just go along with it. I can see greedy mods seeing the ability to profit from that kind of forceful hand and then complaining about disengagement.

        i also wonder if they are going to push something like subscription tiered system, like subscription with ads, or a “free sub with ads”
