I like writing stupid Reddit comments.

The quickest way to take something you enjoy and turn it into something you don't is by making it a job.

Based on their early description of the feature, you can't just rely on residuals to make money. You have to be getting a critical mass of upvotes and gold (which is an interesting inclusion given they're pulling awards - they either didn't think it through all the way and redesigned it already, or they have some other method for how that'll work) each month to even qualify in the first place.

Haha good life advice nonetheless

I bet new Reddit gold is going to be their crypto platform that runs on Ethereum. Just a guess.

That's probably a very good guess, based on their recent adventure into NFTs. It's like they're living in the internet from 2019 and are slowly struggling to catch up to reality not realizing it's already moved on.
