The concept behind the program is straightforward. Redditors who receive substantial gold and karma from other community members can potentially convert these virtual rewards into real-world money that can be cashed out.

sigh, that's desperation. This means that the discussion on Reddit will not be natural or organic, it will cease to be human. Redditors will be like dogs, where they shitpost and post comments that everyone agrees with so they can make money, basically doing what the master tells them in order to get their treat. Reddit as we know it will cease to exist.

Soon on YouTube "how to make money on reddit", "top 10 comments that will get you 9999 upvotes"

Basically Quora.

Quora started to pay people to ask questions, rather than reward the people who put efforts into answering.

I skipped that stupid thing instantly.

And we thought bots and karma farming were bad before.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/YAKOWcs8w54

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I love this bot. Of all the bots this one is by far the coolest.

Oh look, another empty promise from Spez.

Reddit Cash will be the exact equivalent of the storied AT&T Visa Gift Card: always promised, forever dangled, and never actually seen. AT&T has been promising me gift cards since the 1990s, and I have yet to see even one.

TL;DR: Reddit Cash? Get it before you swallow.

I think its just gonna be a way to spend karma to get stickers for free is all. Its what people have been asking for since reddit started doing stickers. I dont think its gonna incentivize bots or circle jerking any more than it already has.
