A real move of desperation. Reminds of steemit, a crypto-based social network that never took off

Forgetting everything that's happened so far, and taking that statement at face value... That is exactly how things should have always worked...
Make *****, get eXpOsUrE. How in the hell did the internet turn into we pay for access; we use it to socialize, share art, ideas, answers, make connections. And now they are not only making money selling our data, but we're expected to pay for their crap content they scraped from our own data?
Okay, hear me out. Someone make a gold-farming bot on reddit, and take that money and donate to some lemmy/kbin instance. I think we found a way to fund lemmy/kbin! Reddit will do it for us!
Just more confirmation that the decision to leave Reddit was the right and best one. Bots, AI and farms will be all that's left on Reddit if this goes through.
But I do wonder how a company that hasn't been profitable ever will be able to afford to pay these creators since any cut of ad revenue or award purchases just cuts into the already non-existent profits.

yikess…the world aint ready for reddit influencers
I'm sure this has got to look great for an IPO...
Yeah no way this goes poorly…..
I thought they don't make money and now they're gonna pay users when they don't even pay their mods.
