I could have sworn that reddit did in fact announce a similar system a few weeks ago. Or did I eat an onion?

They announced earlier this month that they're considering paid subreddits. No idea where that's at.

But yeah, this satire only works precisely because they've specifically expressed their interest in further opportunities for paid subscriptions.

My understanding is that they confirmed that paid subs would come this year
