So sounds to me like... reddit's looking to compete with say patreon etc... IE allow people to post content either early to payers, or release some things exclusively to payers.
Obviously the value of that will depend on how big of a cut reddit goes after, and assuming they don't try and move existing participant focused subreddits to it.
Incoming a bunch of clickbait and fake advertisement about paid content that a bunch of redditors will pay for to access, and then realize the content isn't there, isn't what they thought it would be or isn't worth paying for / is shit.
Hey, pay to see my sub guys, I promise there are posts with pictures of [????]. You pay and then it is all AI generated pics. Etc.
