I'm gonna say it, paywalled content on Reddit isn't necessarily the end of the website, depending on how exactly it's implemented and who chooses what's paywalled. If it's the community choosing, then that's not really that much of an issue, since we've had paid member only forums and chat rooms since the dawn of the internet. Having the ability to set up a subreddit for paying users could have its use cases, though I'm sure we'd still see plenty of angry users and community schisms due to greedy mods trying to paywall off existing ones. If it's Reddit themselves choosing (like, they decide all NSFW subreddits are paywalled, or they arbitrarily start locking popular ones like politics or games or television behind a paywall), then we'll see Reddit activity crash through the floor, and people start mass migrating away from the site.
