This is the best summary I could come up with:


“In the past, there were both paid and free coins that had been distributed, making it incredibly challenging,” spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt said.

With the introduction of the Contributor Program, thanking a kind stranger for giving you gold takes on a new meaning.

Part of what makes Reddit so useful is that most great posts aren’t made with an expectation of payment, meaning that people share their expertise, a handy tip, or a funny joke just because they want to.

I’m also worried that bad actors might find ways to abuse the Contributor Program to earn a quick buck without actually making meaningful contributions.

The Contributor Program is also rolling out starting Monday, and it will be available on the web and Reddit’s mobile apps.

While the protests across the site over the API pricing have largely died down, some users expressed their unhappiness toward CEO Steve Huffman during the recent run of the r/Place interactive canvas.

So a platform that more heavily favours and incentivizes the information preferred and supported by those with expendable money.

Can we eat the rich yet?

Familiar with Moons? Saw this coming a long time, and it's going to be a shitshow.

I'll be honest. I do miss Reddit. I often think about going back to it. Reading this though, it reinvigorates my belief, I made the right choice and I'm never going back.

Yes, yes, and so the thirst continues...
