Yep, this is what the future of awards on Reddit looks like
So anyone can pay to manipulate content now, and not just people with big pockets? Neat. I think I’ll just buy @ernest more coffee…
The waiting list is on a google page?!

It’s 3 years old

Holy shit @ChristianSelig
It looks like they’re wanting to do a full rebrand as more of an actual social network, I think. Monetizing every single aspect of the platform sounds like a terrible way to go about it.
Sounds like spez.
They don’t care about the users who are making a fuss. In fact, they want those users to leave. They want the complacent social media users who can be easily monitized.
JFC I left just in time. This is literally encouraging me to go through the effort of deleting my old reddit accounts. Am I the only one that became notably nauseous when viewing that link? It’s like it’s been designed by the CCP for kindergartners.
My favorite part
Communities are the lifeblood of the Internet. But on today’s Internet, they are not in charge of their own destiny. Instead, they are controlled by the large platforms that hold all the power online. It is time for a change.
It’s time for a change all right, lol
Whoever wrote that has a future in the Trump campaign. Zero self awareness. Too funny.
I had 3 accounts from the last 12 years that I went through and deleted the comments on. I never really posted anything helpful, so I didn’t feel too bad depriving the communities of the content, but it felt really good to do.
The copyright on that page is 2021, did they keep working on that after all the criticism from the NFT avatars?
I looked it up and this wait list came out in December 2021 it seems: https://cointelegraph.com/news/reddit-launches-waitlist-for-site-wide-expansion-of-community-points
I was confused with the section showing awards when an email just went out saying Reddit are ditching awards. But if this is indeed from two years ago, that would make sense.
Yes but it’s still up and “coming soon”
If this is indeed new and not from 2021,I’m waiting for Reddit to implement about 10% of it badly and then make promises about the rest for another 5+ years.
>crypto for the nth time
ceaseWhy does it say 2021 on the footer?
Because it’s not new. Now how far along is it? IDK. Realistically a large feature like this would probably take a couple years development and a company should be thinking multiple years down the road. It’s probable that they were planning a big switch up to reputation and rewards for years.
Spez freaking out and cancelling all 3PAs does feel like a spur of the moment decision though.
Run weighted polls to make big decisions in your community, like getting input on rules changes or deciding how to distribute Points.
Unlike regular polls, these polls give a larger voice to people who have contributed more to the community. The more Community Points someone has earned, the more weight their vote carries
Am I the only one that thinks this is a horrible idea considering the creator to lurker ratio?
They keep trying to make crypto happen on reddit.
@hiyaaaaa23 Now its your turn, Elon. Can you integrate NFTs and Crypto Currency into Twitter? The battle continues…
“Each subreddit creates its own Community Points token, with a custom name and symbol.”
So based on the art in that panel: communities for a fidget spinner, pinwheel , and a brick…
- https://www.reddit.com/r/fidgetspinner is banned for violating the Reddit rules.
- https://www.reddit.com/r/pinwheel is banned for violating the Reddit rules.
- https://www.reddit.com/r/Brick/ is a subreddit dedicated to…a brick? 33 total upvotes on 5 total threads.
Seems like par for the course.
Wow Reddit is becoming Twitter.
Reddit leadership saw Musk nuking his site and thought “hey, we can do that too!”
Weighted polls? Something something Animal Farm.
