These all sounds great and if nothing else would be great starting points. And most importantly would be a basis for win/win solution.
I’ve listened to the Apollo guy on a Vergecast interview and he went out of his way to compliment the Reddit CEO and never took any of the opportunities given to fuel the fire. Maybe this Canadian thing is real? =)
Thinking out loud… or my latest random thought…
Reddit Premium users can use 3rd party apps effectively unrestricted and with no ads. In turn, Reddit would pay the 3rd apps say 25 to 35% of the premium fees they collect to the 3rd party app.
Non-premium users can use 3rd party apps but ads must be pushed through and NSFW related material is blocked.
You'd have to be nuts to use a credit card and your real identity to pay for that ... And then in effect consent to being tracked around their website with a key
Your bank and all their friends will have a record of that till the end of time
Some people don’t care, others think with their dick and ignore it, when they urgently want to access something - which is the reason MANY people pay for porn with credit cards.
But I would think, the majority of reddit users would not.
In theory you could offer anonymous payment, paysafe and co. but more and more governments implement age restriction for porn anyway. No one cares for small sites (yet), but reddit could be pressured to not accept anonymous payments as the are big.
