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”.
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.
And it also excludes NSFW or other non-monetized content.
And subs can’t opt out
You should definitely post something for those sweet dollars then.
“Reddit, what’s the sexiest sex you’ve ever sexed? [Serious]”
By all means, Trust Reddit to do right by its content creating users.
That is, after all, the reason most of us are here.
Isn’t this copying Twitter again?
This is a good way to kill any sense of genuine community on your app.

Reddit is dead
Desperate
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 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.
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.
Commenting to save for later - great tip
Yeah, it’s rough how only certain big subreddits moved here and have regular users.
Now the big ones feel niche, and the niche ones… well, nobody engages.
What could possibly go wrong?
My
botsboys are about to make so much money for me.Me and the
botsboys whipping up some killerrecycled contentnew memes for thebotsreddit community to enjoy!
I wonder how much they’d pay me for my 40k karma…five bucks? Six?
Buncha horseshit
*1 cent
Yeah, once you get to a certain amount of karma, you roll over into the cents, eventually going negative and you owe them now!
Wait that’s the Unity model
I bet this will be as lucrative as twitch streaming.
So us leaving did work :)
Oh my god they did it, they actually did it. So many years of jokes and they actually did it lmfao
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.
Another step to push authentic humans to non-corporate platforms …
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.
I hate this so much
