Community Points allow members of Reddit communities to own a piece of their community, earn rewards for quality contributions, and unlock special features.
Read all about it at the above link. There’s way too much to process here. This is going to be wild.
Not only garbage repost content but garbage reposts of other people’s content.
Reddit posters as a majority are barely more than content thieves and reddit helped themselves by implementing their own internal image and video hosting keeping people inside their site - meaning people will take content they don’t own, rehost it on reddit and completely deprive the creator of views and revenue and reddit gets to put their own ads in between all the stolen content.
The way DMCA takedown requests work mean they can hide behind the safe harbour clause and take the content down if they receive a report from the content owner or rights holders. By the time a creator or rights holder sees their content on the front page, file the takedown and reddit process it - the post has peaked anyway and those million views are already stolen.
Then the icing on the cake is when users give reddit money to buy gold awards to give a shitty little icon to the person who rehosted someone else’s content they have zero rights to.
It’s a massive network of content theft that reddit profits from and now this shit added into the mix is actually pretty disgusting.
