• Saw the same thing about tipping.

    I wonder how many repost or ChatGPT-generated spambots are going to end up with a bunch of tips. Reddit still gets the money, everyone else is just paying AI for content.

    Just go back to gold. They’re complaining about award spam and wanting to “make things simpler”. Gold/platinum was simple. Just do that. People would complain about it, but at least it would continue a longstanding tradition.

    Instead, they’re going to get “tipping”, the same way Musk is “going to pay creators for content” (he won’t; doesn’t even bother paying his lawyers). Huffman is trying so hard to be like Musk that it’s actually sad. Like a child trying to emulate his “hero”.

    He looks at the man who’s destroying, in real-time, the social media company he bought as a joke and thinks “now, that’s a good business strategy, what a genius”.
