Reddit is going to let you turn gold into money

It’s all part of a new “Contributor Program.”

So basically reddit gets a dollar on every gold purchased.The contributor who is (let’s check the prerequisites)in good standing,completed a kyc,has enough karma,and minimum 10 gold to cash gets a whopping 1 dollar per gold.

So, provide a good answer,get traffic to the site and reddit will shows ads on it and also take a cut from any money given to the contributor(s).

I didn’t think reddit could go any lower.Since this is a new low,I am curious how much is this going to ruin reddit(experience).

Does it also not open the door to stolen intellectual property now? Its one thing to repost a meme or use a format for no profit, but if any post garners profit coming off someone else’s creation, would that not be a legal issue?

Hopefully more people end up in the Fediverse.

Seems to be a better representation of people’s views, probably because all the rage-bait and astro-turfing is missing.

It’s insane how different the community behaves on Mastodon/Lemmy vs Twitter/Reddit.

There are some instances with weird admins. But you can just jump instances. And dealing with people is better than dealing with corporations paying PR companies running bot networks.

Wow. They have become that desperate?

They’re just copying Elon. To that end, the already clickbait-filled front page is gonna get worse and engagement farming is going to become as rife as ever.

It’s a desperate and cynical attempt to claw back users who appear to have left en masse after the API changes. Reddit is noticeably less active in smaller subs since July. And the larger subs have more or less consolidated themselves to a few power users.

I’ll be honest. I do miss Reddit. I often think about going back to it. Reading this though, it reinvigorates my belief, I made the right choice and I’m never going back.

Convenient (for them) that they start this only after destroying all the coins people earned over years of using the site. I had over 80k coins and 18 years of premium from various awarded posts (all OC) that they just threw away for nothing.

If they respected my contributions, I might be excited about this, but now I plan on contributing absolutely nothing of value ever again.

Reddit’s new Contributor Program will let you cash out gold given to your posts by other users in *real money.

I wonder if they’re all retarded. Like, what do they think is going to happen, there will suddenly be a bunch of totally not Chinese gold farmers posting content?

They may be the stupidest motherfuckers in existentiality.
