"That's a bold move, Cotton" - Reddit to begin paying people for popular posts
The social media site will split revenue with contributors who are awarded "gold" by other users.

Doesn't reek of deperation to hang onto people at all, honest.
Fuck /u/spez
I had an account with almost a million karma. Like 970,000.
I received two platinum boosts, and I'm not sure how many times I was gilded. Maybe 30 or 40 times?
Half of $5=$2.50 x 40=$100
Considering the time it took to do, it ain't shit.
I'm sure this will lead to a flood of quality content on Reddit. More seriously paying people to make content for your social media site while you sell information about them to advertisers is an interesting business model, to say the least.
The kind of people who stick around because you pay them aren't the people you want to stick around.
Coincidentally I notice that Conagra Brands, Inc. (CAG) is trading down at the moment (28.01-0.28) so if you'd like to buy some shares in one of the biggest producers of popcorn in the world now's a good time lol
Quora tried it. Did "wonders" for the quality of content.
Does anyone remember Quora any more?
They also had this ridiculous policy of not allowing you to browse their site without an account. I wonder if it actually led to signups. In my case I just got frustrated and blocked the site from search results.
And the content that makes up top posts isn't what you want to make top posts..
X now rewards Premium subscribers with an ad revenue share tied to the number of impressions, or views, of ads a user generates in their tweet replies," he said.
"This incentives X users to post content that sparks the most replies, and the characteristics of content that typically generates the most replies is content that is divisive, polarising, provocative, and controversial... exactly the sort of content that brands do not want to have their ads placed amongst.
BOT TIMEEE

Didn't x/Twitter do the same thing? Is spez just copying Musk?
Well this sounds profitable for Reddit.

No no, reddit has never been profitable, spaz even said so himself. Right before they IPO.
