Reddit stock slumps after CEO Steve Huffman teases paywalled subreddits

Reddit’s CEO is hinting that the social media site could explore some paid options for select subreddits now that it’s publicly traded.

there has been a backlash from Redditors at the suggestion that the site may add paywalls to future subreddits. will the company test this practice in 2024?

resolves Yes if, at any point in 2024, at least one subreddit is put behind a paywall by Reddit, even if it's a short-lived experiment.

if users need to pay to access content in a subreddit, it counts. if there is limited free access with the option to pay for a full view or to post/interact, also resolves Yes.
