    To quote Cory Doctorow on enshittification:

    Here is how platforms die:
    first, they are good to their users;
    then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers;
    finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves.
    Then, they die.

    There is no content on Reddit valuable enough that I would pay for access to it.

      If they were smart they would find a way to paywall all the years-old posts where someone is like “hey how do I fix this specific part on my 1992 sewing machine” and it has a single reply with the answer.
