I don't think it was a good decision, to have a paywall for locals communities, where the community has to charge & pay, to simply exist in any meaningful way.
It might be better to give the communities a paywall that doesn't mean they have to pay to see comments/make comments on friend's community page's posts..
In other words @RubinReport, we could all be behind the same paywall, paid for by RR adding $1:00 - One Dollar to the subscription charge for RR subscribers, & that paywall could then set us free to charge or not charge followers to our community pages, as it was in the beginning..
