Reddit will start paying you real money for your karma

  As Android Authority predicted. A financial incentive for karma farming, combined with Reddit's relatively minimal AI moderation, could be the worst thing that has ever happened to Reddit. I can just feel the flood of spam coming, like thunder in the distance.

    But in the short term, if it generates a load of "activity" in the run up to an IPO then that might be all they really care about. Long term it seems like a terrible idea though.

      Reddit is really in trouble if they "miss" their IPO. They have a mountain of debt from all these short term decisions that will catch up with them. Of course, the new owners of Reddit will be in trouble after their IPO. Which seems insane to me...

  This will certainly help their IPO... /s

  I wonder what effect Reddit expects this to have? The only possible outcomes I can think of from this are all bad...
