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

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?

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]”

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.

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 downvotes.

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.
