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.
See quality original content.
Copy original content to a post of your own.
Report original post as SPAM, CSAM, or otherwise abuse.
Profit
Since now that there is a straight up monetary profit motive, would stealing someone else’s original content actually make the thief open to a civil suit? Does that mean you could subpoena Reddit for the thief’s contact info?
$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?
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.
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.
