I mean, this seems like a strong step in the right direction. Same with fuckface at twitter pretending they are doing the same.
It has been more or less Known for years that it is the “power users” who make social media popular. People aren’t joining twitter because someone with zero followers is vague posting about their day. They are joining to see ads from wario64 or comedy from dril or watching as gal gadot’s publicist runs an ad campaign for an android phone from an iphone.
And like basically every other platform these days: Those creators should be compensated.
Much like with twitter, I doubt reddit has the cash to actually do this and expect a LOT of people to get angry that “the check’s in the mail”. But this is more or less going to be required as more platforms are searching for a way to monetize and the “power users” increasingly realize the leverage they have.
