    Paywalled subs existed for ages already. If you had Premium or whatever it was called you could access them. It was mostly uninteresting stuff going on there.

      I remember getting premium once (got a few days for free for some reason) and I think the only “premium” sub was r/lounge or whatever and it was just people saying they got premium.

        My wife bought it for me as a present once misunderstanding what it was. I looked at those subs once and then never again

        I still appreciate the effort, but by far the most useless gift she’s ever given

        It’s the only thing the people in that sub necessarily have in common, and is the theme of the sub. Very very pointless.

        I think it’s more likely that they paywall some of the NSFW subs than try to make more subs like r/lounge.
