    It’s funny that this news is sparking talks of a reddit exodus, when way worse stuff that they do like monetizing all your data and privacy isn’t met with much outrage.

    They’re basically trying to offer a Patreon/OnlyFans option which makes a lot of sense as a monetization strategy and doesn’t even seem that scummy if the subreddit creators themselves are opting into the format.

      Honestly that makes sense, they’re probably kicking themselves for it. They could have been the onlyfans or Patreon, and honestly back in the day I would have been for that

      People don’t value their privacy…

      Honestly Lemmy is not a great platform for privacy either. Lots of your data is federated to other servers that can do whatever they want with it.
