This looks like Spez&co are attempting to implement a way for users (Probably Corporations, Influencers & Celebrities, let’s be honest) to monetise their audience on Reddit. Frankly it goes against everything Reddit was supposed to be, but unfortunately they’ve made it very clear they don’t exactly give a shit about the end-user any more, so I’m not at all surprised.

Glad to be out of there. But even more glad to be here with my fellow lemmings.
One of the things that drives Reddit as a social media platform is the anonymity.
Once you start tying monetization mechanisms to pay users for content, similar to YouTube or Instagram, you lose the anonymity.
Reddit is already walking the path to destroy everything that made it a different social media platform.
Odd coincidence again? Twitter announced the same, but just for right wing personalities for now. We sure spez isn’t elon?
He wants to be, he has his head so far up the Muskrats arse he can smell the back of Elon’s teeth.
Fuck spez.
they are trying to profit off of the old content while converting to an Instagram/tiktok/Facebook-like fully monetized platform.
