#12Garbage site, garbage community.
Re: Ask HN: Would you pay to use Reddit?
#13No. I'm not a big fan anymore. I'm in the eight-ish year club and I can't even talk myself into buying gold as a charitable thing. Its value has decreased substantially to me with time. My answer to this would have been very different years ago, but now the site is too full of what I consider to be mediocre content that seems weighted really high. For example common expressions used over and over like "nature you sca…
Complaining about the front page of Reddit is like complaining about how newsstands are just filled with gossip magazines.
Of course the majority will be for the common denominator. But luckily there are some great subreddits, just like there's many great niche magazines.
Check out reddit.com/r/truereddit to begin with. It's probably closest to what reddit was back in the days.

that sub is even more politicaly-left biased than reddit FP 8 years ago.
Re: Ask HN: Would you pay to use Reddit?
#15No. But I would be glad to pay for something identical to reddit without all the hatred and childishness.
How much? Expensive enough to discourage those who have nothing to say but memes.

#16Reddit? No. Another internet community? Sure. I already do.
(Then again, I wouldn't be-paid to use Reddit either. I'm not opposed to paid communities, in fact I rather like the idea. But hanging it on Reddit (y/n) seems a bit restrictive)

Hi daviross, would you mind disclosing what internet communities you pay for?

I don't pay for those either.

#19As a current college student that operates in a community where I see a number of my fellow classmates using reddit online during class I can say that they would not pay for directly for the service. These days there are too many supplements to Reddit that entertain me just as much if not more.
Although I do believe that Reddit is a very established and well liked website that would still see success if they charged a subscription fee, just not on the same scale of popularity that they currently do.

Metafilter, mainly. ($5 signup fee, and then I chip in $5/month to help support it)
