    I’m sure this will end very well and people will make quality content and totally not botfarm and karmawhore everywhere.

        I imagine corporations will see gold as a way of promoting their advertising in a cheap way. What a terrible concept for a platform that was struggling anyway.

      See quality original content.

      Copy original content to a post of your own.

      Report original post as SPAM, CSAM, or otherwise abuse.

      Profit

      Since now that there is a straight up monetary profit motive, would stealing someone else’s original content actually make the thief open to a civil suit? Does that mean you could subpoena Reddit for the thief’s contact info?

      You’re assuming that botfarming and karma whoring isn’t considered “quality”.

      I mean, look at this shining beacon of quality: “Reddit, what’s the sexiest sex you’ve ever sexed? [Serious]”

      they left (and hopefully some ended up here).

      I used to post almost daily (although i wouldn’t classify much of it as “quality”) for the last few years, and less frequently for about a decade before that. I’ve posted exactly 0 times since the app-pocalypse.

    So many limits and restrictions, including getting ten gold a year, to cash out. I don’t see reddit having to give out much money here.
