  (For some reason this got caught in a flagging spree and had to be resurrected.) If this is the price to pay to keep the free part of Reddit alive, it sounds ok as long as they implement it well and handle the conflict-of-interest about moderators in paid subreddits, and disclosing bot activity, advertising and affiliations.

  from the sounds of it, it's about them getting a piece of Patreon's pie and keeping paid extra content on their platform instead of off it.

    Some of it might also be NSFW content. Patreon has restrictions on such things.
