They already botfarm and karmawhore everywhere. This is just going to amplify that problem.
I imagine corporations will see gold as a way of promoting their advertising in a cheap way. What a terrible concept for a platform that was struggling anyway.
See quality original content.
Copy original content to a post of your own.
Report original post as SPAM, CSAM, or otherwise abuse.
Profit
Since now that there is a straight up monetary profit motive, would stealing someone else's original content actually make the thief open to a civil suit? Does that mean you could subpoena Reddit for the thief's contact info?
There’s already a copyright claim regardless of profit. Whether it’s worth the hassle and cost is another matter.

You're assuming that botfarming and karma whoring isn't considered "quality".
I mean, look at this shining beacon of quality: "Reddit, what's the sexiest sex you've ever sexed? [Serious]"
$2.00 for one and $1.96 each for 25. Nope. Fuck Spez.
What happened to all the people who used to contribute quality content before?
they left (and hopefully some ended up here).
I used to post almost daily (although i wouldn't classify much of it as "quality") for the last few years, and less frequently for about a decade before that. I've posted exactly 0 times since the app-pocalypse.
same, I left over that and I would like to think my posts were quality, but I did not honestly expect everyone to go.
Gone. Reduced to downvotes.
So many limits and restrictions, including getting ten gold a year, to cash out. I don't see reddit having to give out much money here.
Is he trying to "buy back" engagement he lost? Is it about user retention?
I really don't get the move...
Can't affect me since i don't use Reddit no mo
It’s shark jumping time…
LOL
