    Here is another article it seems to have more info https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/25/reddit-will-start-paying-you-real-money-for-your-karma/

    redditors need to earn at least 10 gold within a 30-day period — if they don’t reach the threshold, the balance rolls over. For users with between 100 and 4,999 karma, they will receive $0.90 per 1 gold. Once you earn more than 5,000 karma, you can earn $1 per gold.

    It’s so bad… and what will happen is spam cheap bot content to get the gold amount necessary to get paid.

      Question is who is just throwing $2 at comments? Should users just cut out the middleman and post their Venmo/Patreon handles or something?

      If the app stores take a 30% cut then they are making 60cents off the $2 and Reddit takes in 40¢ while the user gets $1.

      Just pay me the dollar directly, be sure to upvote, comment below and subscribe for more comments like this.
