Reddit kills awards and coins
Hi all, I’m u/venkman01 from the Reddit product team, and I’m here to give everyone an early look at the future of how redditors award (and...

Wonder how that’s going to work with this
I cannot image how shitty it will get with bot farms contributing and upvoting AI generated shit for people too dumb to know they’re being fed BS.
Why even involve users? Bots posting AI generated stuff. Upvote bots upvote, comment bots comment and repost bots repost. Its the ciiiiiircle of life...
Can't wait for all of reddit to become identical to r/SubredditSimulator
Sounds like my Facebook feed.
Well, with many of the site’s top contributors having left, much of the more informative content can then be written by Reddit’s own AI. Throw in a few bot upvotes for visibility and watch the tips come in from the remaining people who don’t have a clue what’s going on.
I could see that bringing in revenue. That’s money straight from the users into Reddit’s pocket.
The worst part is that some generated AI looks exceptional, so bad actors posting it without saying it's AI art would trick most people, anything for engagement I guess..
Not speaking towards Art. I’m talking about llms making posts for Reddit by bots feeding them stuff.
Based on the language where they say there is something coming in the future, I would bet it's that system.
They want to invalidate all existing awards so they cannot be used to give people money under the new system and likely also remove the premium feature of getting awards for free.
People who want to reward content creators will pay for premium and awards instead of just premium now.
I don’t disagree. I’m not sure how that generates revenue for Reddit though. Unless it’s their attempt to capture content creators like YouTube. Or is it more like an onlyfans type idea where people pay the creator personally through the system and they system just takes their cut.
Eh. Whatever. I’m no longer on Reddit. It I’m mildly entertained by the drama.
In the coming months, we’ll be sharing more about a new direction for awarding that allows redditors to empower one another and create more meaningful ways to reward high-quality contributions on Reddit.
I wish I had some better alternatives for the Ukraine related content, because the magazines & communities here are definitely not sufficient, and I'm not going to get Telegram and dig through all of that garbage.
Doesn’t Al Jazeera keep up their content on Ukraine pretty well? I seem to remember they did. I could totally be imaging it too.
I'm talking about actual combat footage, not news articles.
Have you seen this?

What about it?
Lots of Ukrainian posting
Okay first of all you posted a link to a thread, and secondly I know that there's Ukraine magazines & communities. But as I already stated they do not fulfill my need for actual combat footage and recent happenings.
Ok, I’ll stop sharing anything I find with you. Best of luck, hope you have a good one
Prime kneejerk reaction.
Let the Ukrainian mods know to get over here.
If anything we'd need the submitters. And as I've said already, I don't have any accounts anymore.
Ok. I know other mods have rapidly moved everything lightning quick (see Piracy). It just takes a nudge to help them do it.
