Just what Reddit needs, an even better reason for bots and reposting. It will be interesting to watch this play out.
With all of the changes in the past year or two of the Reddit team trying to monetize it in any way they can I've noticed I find less and less interesting content.

- donmcronald 6y agoYeah, "we want to encourage positive behavior, so we added money" doesn't strike me as being realistic. I'm sure the real goal is to sell tokens and to shift to a microtransaction model where users have to pay for "premium" features. That's why there's a hard cap on tokens and they're consumed on use. Worse though, I think it might be an underhanded way to sell influence for money if it doesn't stay a closed system. While the users are distracted with "premium" stickers and emojis, bad actors will be paying real money to buy visibility and influence. For me, the appeal of Reddit is that I can jump in and participate and it's fairly democratic, at least in the smaller subreddits. As soon as they turn it into money = visibility = credibility it's ruined.
