Reddit could be working on a Contributor program, letting top contributors earn real-world money from the gold and karma they receive.
Reddit could be working on a Contributor program, letting top contributors earn real-world money from the gold and karma they receive.
The real story is they’re getting rid of coins and awards. It’s confirmed by a reddit admin, whereas the cash for karma thing is speculation.

So killing a feature before any replacement is ready; cool. I’m sure those who pay for premium and will stop receiving a stock of coins will see a commensurate price reduction. Right?
Oooh boy, that’s not gonna sit well with the kind strangers
🏆 such a good comment, have my free gold!
I stopped my premium membership, but I’ve still got 35800 coins. I don’t know what I’ll do with them.
Search for comments from people saying they’re leaving to go to kbin, Lemmy, whatever and shower them with coins.
Or find the post from the reddit admin breaking the news that coins were going away, drop gold on the salty comments. There are already a ton of people doing that; comment after comment with a dozen-plus useless trophies each.
