    Great! Now they want the final stab with content being created by bots. Haha

      I’m guessing that’s exactly what they want, actually.

      A bunch of content regurgitaters who will keep their lurker numbers high and won’t talk back when Reddit further enshitifies its platform.

    Reddit’s post was distinctly non-specific about the dollar amounts people can expect to see

    Lol, so basically “we might give you money if we feel like it”.

        “Reddit, what’s the sexiest sex you’ve ever sexed? [Serious]”

        Dollars? That seems optimistic to me. It would probably be an amount comparable to the change you’d find on the ground in a parking lot.

        If you’re an extremely active user who has no life, and posts all day every day, then we might be talking dollars. Perhaps even double digits over the course of a year!

    By all means, Trust Reddit to do right by its content creating users.

    That is, after all, the reason most of us are here.

    Besides relevant search results i stopped going to reddit completely for here. I went there today to see their thoughts on this matter, just to not see it mentioned in hot or top at all.

      I sort of miss the more ‘niche’ but non techie / nerdy communities but just find myself reading books again, which is also less stressful.

        i’ve been using rdx.overdevs.com - it’s a great way to read comments on mobile with a great UI, and you can import your list of subscriptions in a .json file. The only issue is that you can’t use it to post, so it’s read-only. I view that as a feature and not a bug.

        I too have been reading more. I kinda miss the random tidbits i picked up from hours of reddit though, but being only on lemmy is way healthier.

    That’s hilarious. Was this the plan all along or was this more of a reactionary thing? I think it’s a mix of both.

    So many limits and restrictions, including getting ten gold a year, to cash out. I don’t see reddit having to give out much money here.
