Current state of Reddit
My friend sent me this, the current state of Reddit. (I left during the app issue and haven't looked back)

Are reddit paying contributors, moderators or people creating posts¿? If no then how are they claiming that buying a golden upvote supports contributors
About 3 months ago? They killed off the old award system. Gold, platinum, ternium , and the 100 other things you could add to posts or comments with reddit coins were Thanos snapped out of existence.
Now theres golden up votes where somehow if I spend real money and give something a golden upvote, the writer could receive real money (only for some countries). Don't know all the details as I figured I wouldn't be receiving any and wasn't going to be giving any.
Reddit embracing tipping and gig culture.
Very good point!
I am not a lawyer but isn't this something that is technically illegal? Or perhaps not, do donations need to be truthful in plain terms of how the funds are used ?
The only way I can see donating to reddit could be argued as helping/supporting contrubiters by having the platform and audience available.
do donations need to be truthful in plain terms of how the funds are used ?
I think in 2023 parlance the claim is probably plain enough to be "truthful".
Giving gold supports the contributors you love
It's pretty well established that receiving gold on reddit is perks like... a gold star or something, rather than actual real gold.
It pays them in exposure!
