how is paying people going to "keep them profit oriented til profits arrive"?

how could they even have the cashflow to support that? money isn't free anymore

I'm guessing new deals with advertisers. These changes will incentivize more neutral, advertiser-friendly comments on their platform. I imagine that's going to make them more lucrative to advertisers going forward, so that their ads are shown next to harmless memes instead of bad-faith political arguments in cat pic subreddits.
