CEO Steve Huffman confirmed in a recent AMA session that Reddit plans to introduce paywalled premium subreddits, tentatively set for 2025. He assured users that the original free version of Reddit will still remain intact, allowing the platform to continue its altruistic spirit. While details regarding the specifics of the paid content are scarce, speculation among users suggests concerns over potential impacts on the platform's integrity, with fears that monetization could ultimately lead to a decline or 'enshittification' of Reddit's unique community-driven nature.
While Huffman noted that premium subreddits will arrive, he reiterated that the existing altruistic-free version of Reddit will continue to exist and thrive.
Huffman acknowledged paid subreddits might roll out in 2025 while also teasing the broader rollout of Reddit Answers, the site's AI search feature.
