So this is how they are going to "pay" users.

Ding ding ding ding - yes, with the "option" for users to pay them. It's a Trump/Musk/Spez specialty: do whatever the fuq you want, but make it sound nice and people will be lining up just to fall for it.

I would add the joke "What's next - crypto?"... but at this point that is not even funny anymore:-(.

Reddit tried a crypto thing. "Community points". I believe they killed that program before even rolling it out too far.

Wasn't there also some sort of talk about doing NFT shit with the godawful "snoovatars"?

Yeah, that was a thing too. I don't remember the details of it though

Yeah that's why it isn't even funny, b/c it wouldn't be "next" - they have ALREADY TRIED THAT.

This is the scheme that they are doing AFTER the crypto scam!

Like, at what point do you stop making fun of somebody and just start pitying them instead? (To be clear, so long as we are talking about spez, the correct answer will always be "never":-P)
