And apparently Reddit wants to pay people for their content now anyways.

I don't think that's because they want to.

Even if not a huge threat today, it's pretty obvious that apps like Lemmy can completely replace Reddit for users. All Lemmy needs now is just enough critical mass of interactions like comments. Reddit has to come up with ways to keep people around because it's core features are way too basic and replaceable.
