  Here is another article it seems to have more info techcrunch.com/…/reddit-will-start-paying-you-rea…

  redditors need to earn at least 10 gold within a 30-day period — if they don’t reach the threshold, the balance rolls over. For users with between 100 and 4,999 karma, they will receive $0.90 per 1 gold. Once you earn more than 5,000 karma, you can earn $1 per gold.

  It’s so bad… and what will happen is spam cheap bot content to get the gold amount necessary to get paid.

    Question is who is just throwing $2 at comments? Should users just cut out the middleman and post their Venmo/Patreon handles or something?

    If the app stores take a 30% cut then they are making 60cents off the $2 and Reddit takes in 40¢ while the user gets $1.

    Just pay me the dollar directly, be sure to upvote, comment below and subscribe for more comments like this.

    And it also excludes NSFW or other non-monetized content.

  You should definitely post something for those sweet dollars then.

    Dollars? That seems optimistic to me. It would probably be an amount comparable to the change you’d find on the ground in a parking lot.

    If you’re an extremely active user who has no life, and posts all day every day, then we might be talking dollars. Perhaps even double digits over the course of a year!
