It's a different time now- I wonder if Reddit could get away with paywalls. They've gotten away with everything else so far. Reddit is already unrecognizable to me compared to long ago, when the narwhal still bacon'd at midnight. I mean I still use "Old Reddit" for the UI, but the content and commenters are entirely the opposite of what Reddit once was. It's like in Mad Max when the kids pass on an oral history of the "before times" of Captain Walker, in broad strokes that are largely made-up. Their reality is a fabrication, and it's impossible for anybody to tell them so. And they like their reality and heck maybe they'll pay to keep liking it.
