In an AMA (Ask Me Anything) video stream last week for Reddit's 2024 fourth-quarter earnings, CEO Steve Huffman confirmed that the message-board giant is still working toward paid subreddits on the platform.

Paywalled subreddits are coming this year, confirmed by Reddit CEO Steve Huffman. In a prerecorded video AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Friday answering redditors' questions about the company's Q4 2024 earnings, Reddit executives shared some more information about its plans to monetize the social media forum.

Reddit will introduce paywalls for exclusive content as part of its monetization strategy. The move follows API fee hikes and licensing deals to boost revenue after its IPO. Challenges include user backlash, moderation concerns, and defining premium content.

Reddit’s co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman spoke more on the idea of paid subreddits in a recent company Ask Me Anything (AMA). Reddit is a technology and social network company that was founded more than 20 years ago. It is a sought-after space for internet discussions of any topic within communities, also known as subreddits.

In a video Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said the paid content model for subreddits could roll out in 2025.

Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) chief executive Steve Huffman said on Thursday the company is planning to launch a paywall this year, marking a major shift for the online forum founded on the premise of widely and freely sharing information.
