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.

$2.00 for one and $1.96 each for 25. Nope. Fuck Spez.

I’m sure this will end very well and people will make quality content and totally not botfarm and karmawhore everywhere.

They already botfarm and karmawhore everywhere. This is just going to amplify that problem.

I imagine corporations will see gold as a way of promoting their advertising in a cheap way. What a terrible concept for a platform that was struggling anyway.

See quality original content.

Copy original content to a post of your own.

Report original post as SPAM, CSAM, or otherwise abuse.

Profit

Since now that there is a straight up monetary profit motive, would stealing someone else’s original content actually make the thief open to a civil suit? Does that mean you could subpoena Reddit for the thief’s contact info?

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

There’s already a copyright claim regardless of profit. Whether it’s worth the hassle and cost is another matter.

eee ,

You’re assuming that botfarming and karma whoring isn’t considered “quality”.

I mean, look at this shining beacon of quality: “Reddit, what’s the sexiest sex you’ve ever sexed? [Serious]”

Maybe this ridiculous thing will eventually replace some of the worst or most useless human cops… in twenty years, after a few billion tax dollars, just before their union neuters the project and renders it virtually useless. Think of the possibilities!

How long until it shoots the first black person? Place your bets now.

Harpsist ,

Are we even taking bets that don’t say the word “month” in them?

mvirts , to technology in An NYPD security robot will be patrolling the Times Square subway station

Hmmm I wonder if anyone has ever hacked a police department by requesting all the bodycam footage and watching an authentication happen.

Robocop needs to ease up on the Robodonuts.
