  I’m sure this will end very well and people will make quality content and totally not botfarm and karmawhore everywhere.

    They already botfarm and karmawhore everywhere. This is just going to amplify that problem.

      I imagine corporations will see gold as a way of promoting their advertising in a cheap way. What a terrible concept for a platform that was struggling anyway.

    See quality original content. Copy original content to a post of your own. Report original post as SPAM, CSAM, or otherwise abuse. Profit

      There’s already a copyright claim regardless of profit. Whether it’s worth the hassle and cost is another matter.

    You’re assuming that botfarming and karma whoring isn’t considered “quality”.

    I mean, look at this shining beacon of quality: “Reddit, what’s the sexiest sex you’ve ever sexed? [Serious]”

  $2.00 for one and $1.96 each for 25. Nope. Fuck Spez.

  What happened to all the people who used to contribute quality content before?

  source

  • eee@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    they left (and hopefully some ended up here).

    I used to post almost daily (although i wouldn’t classify much of it as “quality”) for the last few years, and less frequently for about a decade before that. I’ve posted exactly 0 times since the app-pocalypse.

      same, I left over that and I would like to think my posts were quality, but I did not honestly expect everyone to go.

    Gone. Reduced to upvotes.

  So many limits and restrictions, including getting ten gold a year, to cash out. I don't see reddit having to give out much money here.

  Is he trying to “buy back” engagement he lost? Is it about user retention?

  I really don’t get the move…
