Seriously this.
I'll never understand how this platform has the traction it has when it is such a buggy POS, forums in the 90s worked better than the current version of Reddit. Not to mention their tendency to censor and shadowban: it goes to show that when it comes to Social Media (something I never really got into as it is entirely extractive) you don't need quality code to be a stand out.
How they convinced people to pay actual money for gilding makes me think that video game producers who moved to micro tx business models were actually way ahead of their time, prophetic even, in predicting what this demographic will tolerate.
I can't imagine how they're going to handle having such a lax approach to security when actual money is on the line (assuming they tokenize or create NFTs) and with adversaries from all sides trying to rip them off. It will be comical if a spin off of REvil was created just to screw over Reddit, I'd like to to see this materialize only to see that happen.
Sidenote: you used to be able to tip in bitcoin on Reddit via tipping bot, now you can only do it with small sums (bits) via LN, but this has been possible for a long time now.
