I'm glad I left Reddit but I would appreciate screenshots once they launch this change.

What coke-fueled bender produced this brilliant idea?

I thought they don't make money and now they're gonna pay users when they don't even pay their mods.

Cuz that's working out so great for YouTube. To the point where they gotta eBeg for money via third party systems.

So they switching the platform to become Tiktokesque instead of being Facebook, then. Cringe🤡

Only thing that would make me back for a bit is if they retroactively applied this for everyone (because their userbase ain't just from the States alone) and allow everyone to cash out 🤸🏼‍♀️

If they can't make themselves "profitable" when the content is free they're sure as hell not going to be profitable if they pay for it

This is possibly the dumbest solution to their (self created) problem. Can't think of a way it can go wrong!
