One day there was a post there about free 5 bucks for some PlayStation stuff. The post received 30k comments. Thats all you need to know about the reddit audience.

What would improve the content quality is a requirement to maintain membership by answering a complex enough question once a month. Questions could be prepared by mods. But then all the reddit audience would be gone, and with them the reddit's power to influence the lazy internet crowd.

Reddit corporate really wants a high valuation, and they have devoted everything to growth. They don't care if the website devolves into the comments section of YouTube. Growth and money are all that matter.

They have no interest in setting up barriers or vetting members. Dumb engagement is easier than building tools to support content creation. Infinite scroll, embedded videos. It's becoming Zuckerbergian.

wait until you hear about the blockchain they just released for the fortnite subreddit. You can earn "bricks" in order to gain features like posting gifs and emotes.

While reddit's never been amazing it feels like the quality is going downhill faster than before slowly turning into youtube level comments.

They released it to both Fortnite and CryptoCurrency subs at the same time. It's called "Moons" in ths CC sub.

Apparently they are ERC-20 tokens, and in the CC sub, there are frontpage posts already asking how to buy "Moons".
