Does reddit look like a free-to-play mobile game to you? Because that's exactly what this concept sounds like.

Looks a lot to me like they're desperately chasing after Discord for some reason, both in terms of audience and monetization.

There's a lot that could be said about this but I've been here for 10 years, I'm tired of seeing Reddit try to kill its own niche.

“We’ve heard your requests, so here is one you didn’t want.”

Edit: Ya know what, I reread it. They want to use this to fund more changes, this wasn’t a requested feature. Still not happy about it.
