Make content, get paid.
Wow, I didn’t think they’d implement anything more cancerous than various site preferred paywalling. This reeks of needing some good numbers to blow out headed into the IPO.
If it’s this bad already, get ready for a circus.

I was going to say…with what money is Reddit going to pay these posters? Because they couldn’t turn a profit while relying on unpaid moderators.
It’s completely ass-backwards to pay posters while telling mods to suck it and donate their time.
So all those perma bans of high karma long time members for no reason was a money driven directive?
By suspending the accounts reddit just wiped a bunch of karma they wont pay for but still can use the content.
Pretty sure it’s just for karma you earn after after you apply.
If this is true, the end is nigh. What kind of content do they think this will encourage? Bots and low-quality rehashings will flood the place further.
Though I guess they’ll get some juicy income from requiring this information:
email addresses, personal details, and tax and bank account information.
Good riddance!
yea, all this does is incentivize running plenty of bots. enough chatGPT content, and you will be able to cash it out.
yikes. why/how do they have access to this?
Sorry who or what the fuck the Tech Times?
A real move of desperation. Reminds of steemit, a crypto-based social network that never took off
Looks like it’s relatively popular, just not in English
Here’s the interesting bit for me:
To begin verification, you must have at least ten gold and 100 karma, according to the code.
and
users will have to maintain a certain level of activity and accumulate a designated amount of gold and karma each month to remain eligible for payouts
Sounds like an attempt to drive up reddit gold sales? I deleted my account and still had that one free gold award from forever ago. Feels like the easiest way to do this is have a second account that buys gold and awards it to the primary earning account to meet the minimum.
Quick maffs $20 to get 10 gold awards, which also gives the recipient 1000 coins (worth 2 gold awards for another account, so you’ll probably see subs devoted to a black market for discounted gold awards for that accumulated coin) and 10 weeks of reddit premium. It honestly sounds like a very complicated subscription.
are there discounts for platinum?
“I wouldn’t use the piece-of-shit first-party App, even if you paid me!”
“What if we pay you?”
“…”
It also sounds like a way to drive up gold subscriptions. Reddit has gone full digg.
I won’t lie, I thought about it for a minute
real money, or some crypto bullshit?

Oh my God. This is awesome.
“We need to tighten the purse strings!!1” quickly became “open the coffers!” as soon as they hit a speed bump.
Seriously epic. With the amount of vote manipulation going on over there, this will be a complete and utter failure. I guarantee it will be pulled in a month or two.
So stupid. Greedy motherfuckers… I thought it was the unpaid, volunteer mods that were the “landed gentry” that were ruining the site? They fucked around and found out pretty quickly, and now they’re creating something that fits their analogy much better.
I can’t wait to see their IPO fail miserably, and watch Steve Huffman realize that he fucked himself over by being too greedy.
I have a feeling that whatever disappointment the current owners and execs of Reddit have with the IPO will be eclipsed by the disappointment of the people who buy the shares. I don’t think Reddit was worth anywhere close to the valuations two months ago and I’d be surprised if it’s still worth half of its true value two months ago.
But then again, it has close to zero value to me at the moment (it varies which side of zero it’s on based on my mood).
I’m glad I left Reddit but I would appreciate screenshots once they launch this change.
What could possibly go wrong!?
don’t forget to stock up on popcorn.
Crazy thought but what if they paid third party developers instead by simply not kicking them off
That’s a great idea! Too bad nobody thought of it before and now here we are lol
Let me get this straight.
People make content, bots up vote content that aligns with their objectives. People get paid for up votes.
So… People are working for bots now?
I, for one, welcome our new bot overlords
You’re working for the people who run the bots. Push the narrative and you’ll get paid.

Welcome to Costco. I love you.
You are a bad mother.
Your children are now the property of Carl’s Junior. Fuck you, I’m eating.
I think you forgot a crucial step… Bots steal actual content, then direct other bots to down vote and report said original content, and then direct said bots to upvote the stolen content.

“The Barbie Rises”, only in theaters July 21st.
It’s not about Ken, it’s about sending a message.
And the message is that you should preorder your tickets to “Barbie” today!
Oh jeez please let the writer’s strike be over soon.
We both know I must upvote you now.
