      Back from Reddit, and here’s the deal.

      1: based upon your karma earned per week, you get a share of all gold given to your account. They shared only that 100-4999 karma per week gives $.90 per gold and 5000-? gives $1.00 per gold.

      This will literally destroy every single community with a deluge of spam. They implied that they had a new spam system but it’s Reddit, so it will be ineffective at best. What, have they been purposefully allowing spam for years to train identification just for this moment?

      2: No clue. Hopefully just joking.

          If they can convince investors and advertisers that bots are users then they don’t care if they have actual users.

          Bots not only stole our jobs our shitposts, they’re also going to get paid for it. Truly, this is the dumbest timeline

        The Reddit spam filter is god awful.

        Research any product on Google and click on the reddit link. Nine times out of ten, the top comment will be added months, if not years, after the original post. It will contain a link to blogspam and somehow have 50+ points.

        It’s clear that it’s just bot accounts. They buy votes and post it so late after the fact because it makes it less likely to be noticed by the mods.
