Other than OF-style content, what exactly are they planning to paywall?

Via Reddit

In case they want to visit that subreddit: !assholedesign@lemmy.world

Could please share the article from the screenshot? The one where he says he wants to paywall r/asshole design?

So basically anything goes in terms of content...

EDIT: The reference to assholedesign is a joke, the first part is legite (that they are generally considering paywalled subs).

I'm sharing the screenshot posted to Reddit, I haven't seen the article. You can follow the link to the Reddit thread.

That's a satire article

OF content would be a massive money maker. That might be enough to justify the whole project

If they paywall their porn, the site tumblrs off a cliff.

the site tumblrs off a cliff

Beautiful turn of phrase.

Not just paywall their porn, also force linking:

Payment method and thus Identity to reddit account
Identity to whatever degenerate shit you like to get off to.

That's why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullshit over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.

I should probably scrape the top 250 from this past year from my favorite 20 or so subs manually or find some automated way that still works 🤔
