I'm not on Reddit anymore, what is this "contributor program"?
Looked it up, apparently someone datamined something out of the app that said you could earn money for getting karma/gold on posts.
This is absolutely going to get gamed to hell if it really happens. It also reeks of desperation.
If they aren’t going to pay mods who are they planning to pay to make sure bots aren’t gaming the system? This is going to fail hard and we’ll see another influx of disgruntled migrants when they take it away.
It's also guaranteed to be subject to mod corruption. You think a mod won't remove posts so their's or an alt/friend hits top page more frequently? Not that I think most mods and users are that kind of person, but capitalism corrupts, and a lack of profit motive was a huge thing that kept most communities together and friendly, because karma was basically just monopoly money.
