Are reddit paying contributors, moderators or people creating posts¿? If no then how are they claiming that buying a golden upvote supports contributors
About 3 months ago? They killed off the old award system. Gold, platinum, ternium , and the 100 other things you could add to posts or comments with reddit coins were Thanos snapped out of existence.
Now theres golden up votes where somehow if I spend real money and give something a golden upvote, the writer could receive real money (only for some countries). Don't know all the details as I figured I wouldn't be receiving any and wasn't going to be giving any.
Reddit embracing tipping and gig culture.
Very good point!
I am not a lawyer but isn't this something that is technically illegal? Or perhaps not, do donations need to be truthful in plain terms of how the funds are used ?
The only way I can see donating to reddit could be argued as helping/supporting contrubiters by having the platform and audience available.
I think in 2023 parlance the claim is probably plain enough to be "truthful".
It's pretty well established that receiving gold on reddit is perks like... a gold star or something, rather than actual real gold.
It pays them in exposure!
