Does everything have to be an exploitative grift though?

With reddit also announcing cryprocurrency based karma, I'm starting to think that this is all an effort to cash out on whatever goodwill they may have.

Frankly I wish this stuff would calm down already, but it may have to run its course and people will have to get hurt or die when the next black swan event occurs.

Maybe this will be what leads to the down fall of Reddit and Discord.

Hopefully their replacements will learn their lessons as they once learnt the lessons from those they replaced. Ultimately it's greed.

Oh yeah, giving decentralized power to the users is soooo bad. Man i wish Facebook paid me for my fucking data.
Ah, this article is for you!

Why adding an optional feature in a free app that tons of users want badly is "exploitative grift" I'm not sure I'll ever be able to understand.
