Reddit to Introduce Paywall for Exclusive Subreddits
2025-02-14
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman announced plans to introduce a paywall this year, focusing initially on new subreddits offering exclusive content accessible only to paying members. The company is exploring compensation models for content creators, potentially leveraging the existing Reddit Contributor Program which rewards users for contributions. While paid content is coming, Huffman assures that free Reddit will continue to exist and thrive. A key challenge lies in balancing paid and free content, and incentivizing volunteer moderators to manage paid subreddits.
