I mean, ignoring the balding neonazi dipshit for a moment:
Twitter is more or less showing the path forward. They fucked up on the advertisement side, but it has clearly been demonstrated that there is a strong desire for users to be “power users”. Which is more or less what twitter ran on before. The idea that, because you have ten followers, you are just as important as Barack Obama.
Reddit, coupled with Google fucking up their own shit, is rapidly losing the “best place on the internet to find user sourced information” badge. But there is definitely room for a subscription that either boosts user engagement (not sure how that would work) or provides corporate moderators so that individual people can have their own board about their Sonic OC or whatever.
And then it becomes about converting those users into customers.
Swap “subscription” for “multiple small transactions” and you have the new gold system. So Reddit is already doing what you (and me, and everyone else) was predicting them to, we just didn’t know “how”.
It’ll likely fail hard though, at least in the long run. For similar reasons as Digg failed.
I’ve had multiple comments on Reddit that were the first things or among the top results that popped up on Google regarding certain topics/issues/ect. Taking that away from Reddit even though my slice of the results pie was small, still felt so damn good.
I’ve considered this, but knowing the pain that I had to go through because there was nothing, I’d rather that future developers don’t have to suffer through the same.
Remove those from reddit and repost here.
