News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Thank you for the correct answer! I would have gone on believing a lie had you not responded. Here's their payout table:
So they charge $2.69-$66.99 for gilding and only give the contributor $0.90-$1, keeping the rest. Wow, sounds like a shit deal for everyone but Reddit.
So basically this will give a very small handful of gallowboob-scale karma whores maybe a thousand dollars a year.
Assuming users are willing to pay for comments. I'd expect far fewer awards to be handed out now that they cost dollars.
$0.90 per gold ?
I mean shouldn't that gave been:
$0.90 ger dollar given by golds?
Anyway, it smells like the large majority will work and get nothing, some "pro" accounts will maybe.
Reddit was mainly driven by lots of small 'content-creators' (I hate that word so much) like ordinary people sharing and helping.
Cheers to you all making posts and comments here (and well anywhere actually, because IMO it benefits humanity mostly).
I think the higher amounts in OP's pic are multiples of "gold" (with $66.99 being 25 gold) and assume the payout would change per gold for what seems like a different currency than what that table is for (where 1 gold is $1.99 USD).
All that said, Reddit hasn't really given any reason to give them the benefit of the doubt here, either, so it could very well be $1 per award no matter the amount paid for it.
so they keep 60+%. I am not sure why people willing to support someone won't do it directly vs giving a high percentage to a middle man.
You get $0.90 per gold - the fancier golden upvotes are worth multiple gold, with the most expensive one being worth 25 gold. So the post creator can claim 33% back
