I thought they don't make money and now they're gonna pay users when they don't even pay their mods.

I'm glad I left Reddit but I would appreciate screenshots once they launch this change.
What coke-fueled bender produced this brilliant idea?
Reddit was already full of repost bots and karma farmers when the only reward was fake internet points, the site will become completely unusable if they add real money into the mix
Cuz that's working out so great for YouTube. To the point where they gotta eBeg for money via third party systems.
If they can't make themselves "profitable" when the content is free they're sure as hell not going to be profitable if they pay for it
Cool more crypto shit
What could possibly go wrong?
This is possibly the dumbest solution to their (self created) problem. Can't think of a way it can go wrong!
So they switching the platform to become Tiktokesque instead of being Facebook, then. Cringe🤡
Only thing that would make me back for a bit is if they retroactively applied this for everyone (because their userbase ain't just from the States alone) and allow everyone to cash out 🤸🏼♀️
Wow, I didn't think they'd implement anything more cancerous than various site preferred paywalling. This reeks of needing some good numbers to blow out headed into the IPO.
If it's this bad already, get ready for a circus.
