    So you get points for posting and for moderating. It’s this literally being “paid in exposure”? Don’t we joke about this all the time how worthless it is?

      Oh God, now they’ve actually monetized all the repost bots. It’s like they WANT their site to turn into a bot hellhole.

        Well, they kinda do. They don’t have to be human to look like users from the outside.

        Looking at this screams that they’re planning to cut and run, though. It’s arson for the insurance money. Nobody would look at this longterm and think it was going to turn out well

      When you get 100,000 exposure, and there are suckers paying $4 for each, how many USD do you have?

      (Spoiler: none, but if you’re smart, then you may get USD 200K)
