So…they just bring back how gilding used to work? That’s quite…innovative, for an AI.
Yes, but now it’s less accessible, costs more, and is less transparent so companies can astroturf easier.
But it’s better because they’re totally 100% looking at ways to share the revenue with the communities as soon as possible. Definitely one of the top priorities without a doubt.
i’ll take a fat guess that this “sharing revenue with community” is code word for some crypto garbage
Pfft, crypto would be better than nothing, which is exactly what he means, they’re not getting a thing 😂
They will distribute free gold to mods to give out, like before, only this time it’s worth $50! Tempted now?
Reddit crypto is great! I was foolish enough to purchase Reddit Gold like 10 years ago, now I sold the crypto Reddit Moons for almost the same! (not adjusted for inflation, and it only turned the crypto subreddit into a cesspool, but whatever)
all crypto is garbage
Except for Superman’s dog. He’s a good boy.
And they also removed all existing gold from accounts in order to replace the system with one near identical.
“Oh come on, it’s DIFFERENT. Thank you for your money.”
I just hate this corporate talk. I know they are lying, they know they are lying, so why not be honest for a change? That would be the very first step for me to even consider using reddit again.
Don’t you lecture me with your thirty dollar upvote
Oh look the guy with the $50 upvote is responding to the guy who doesn’t have any karma. Come on!
- How is this different from how gold currently works?
- What is that about a $50 upvote?
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.
So they’re basically paying the bots now? Very cool, very nice
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 jobsour shitposts, they’re also going to get paid for it. Truly, this is the dumbest timelineHey, a bots gotta eat. Oh wait…
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.
Can you cash out the gold for real money? I doubt it, so it will not be the “poor guy trying to earn some cents” type of spam, it will be the classic redditors trying to farm awards circlejerk which has plagued reddit for a long time
Yes. Yes you can
Can these reddit admin not talk like normal people for once?
They have probably been replaced by an AI that was exclusively trained on clowns.
They’re probably trained to read off some template script for PR reasons
And people will pay it. If there’s anything I’ve learned over the past year, no matter how bad things get, some dumbass will pay. 99% of the population could be under water or on fire and that leftover 1% would still have guys trying to buy in game cosmetics and tipping Twitch streamers.
Unlike reddit gold, tipping streamers actually makes sense, though. It’s like throwing a couple bucks in the guitar case of a brusker…the person is entertaining you so you give them a few bucks as thanks. I don’t do watch streams but I get it.
This is how I view it too. I rarely spend money on twitch, but a sub or dono to someone who I’ve literally watched for hundreds of hours for essentially free doesn’t really seem like a problem to me.
After taking everything away from what we “earned” for the past years. They’re taking more than half of the money of what people pay before giving the rest to the actual receiver and Reddit being Reddit is probably just stop payments at some point and just pocket money. Of course, after a lot of spam and repost bots made some bucks and the climate on Reddit gets worse as bots get more aggressive to beat the other bots.
Ding ding ding! You have won gold! :)
Thanks for the Gold, stranger!
Why does the image look like a synapse? Is that meant to illustrate Redditors’ chemical dependence on Reddit Gold?
It is undoubtedly a group of synapses with one about to get a big juicy golden dopamine hit. I feel like that was a spez request to marketing and design departments as a subtle way to laugh at how obviously overboard they can go and people will stay addicted.
I’m curious how the r/conspiracy sub is reacting, or not reacting.
That’s a fucking nonsense idea, but how else would they afford the crack that caused that idea to originate?
Are you suggesting they bought crack on layaway?
Well technically it’s called getting it “fronted”.
Amazing. Wonder what new nonsense they’ll focus on next to pump up their value for the IPO
Wow they’re just digging upper and upper ain’t they.
Cheers, reddit. Good luck and that.
It’s like they’re selling NFT’s, yet somehow with an even lower value proposition.
“I want to pay money to support reposted content, that was already worthless and mediocre the first time round” — said no-one ever
Comedy gold!
A pie to the(ir) face, it never gets old
Wow. They did not confirm the super votes affect the algorithm but if they do that’s pretty shocking.
100% AI responses. They’re pretending reddit is active
Wholesome 🦭
