MODERATORS
Reddit was already full of repost bots and karma farmers when the only reward was fake internet points, the site will become completely unusable if they add real money into the mix
What coke-fueled bender produced this brilliant idea?
So they switching the platform to become Tiktokesque instead of being Facebook, then. Cringe🤡
Only thing that would make me back for a bit is if they retroactively applied this for everyone (because their userbase ain't just from the States alone) and allow everyone to cash out 🤸🏼♀️
Cuz that's working out so great for YouTube. To the point where they gotta eBeg for money via third party systems.
If they can't make themselves "profitable" when the content is free they're sure as hell not going to be profitable if they pay for it
This is possibly the dumbest solution to their (self created) problem. Can't think of a way it can go wrong!
What could possibly go wrong?
Cool more crypto shit
Sorry who or what the fuck the Tech Times?
Oh good, the Reddit will assume it's final form, just a stew of advertising and bots
