    Wonder if this is connected to that leaked contributor/paid karma thing that got leaked a few days ago

      Do you happen to have a link to some more information on this? I have seen the pay for karma sites before but was this internal?

        In case you haven’t seen it elsewhere yet, I think the main source is this AndroidAuthority article:

        https://www.androidauthority.com/reddit-contributor-program-3343397/

        It’s a leak rather than an announcement (I saw someone mention an announcement earlier, but couldn’t find it), but IMO it is made more likely by Reddit’s hints in the post about getting rid of gold, and it’s also similar to something that has been done in a few crypto subs for a while.

        I don’t have the link on hand right now but iirc someone posted here like last month regarding some internal code that was discovered basically outlining a program to pay users for how much karma they get. Kinda like being a Reddit “influencer” or some shit
