    I wouldn’t be surprised if this was done through cryptocurrency like Reddit’s done before.

    A few years ago Reddit started to give community specific cryptocurrencies depending on how much karma the user got. I think it was only launched on the Fortnite and Cryptocurrency subreddits, and I’d say giving cryptocurrency to a community of mostly young Fortnite fans seems immoral, but not surprising for Reddit.

      I’ve made like 150$ off of r/cryptocurrency moons from the few comments I’ve left there but it wasn’t a great move by reddit. The quality of the entire subreddit took a nosedive and there were different meta strategies to earn moons like sob-stories à la “I’m living in a third world country and make money farming moons”.

      If they expanded this experiment to the entire platform, the entire site will become truly unusable.I hope they do it lol.
