Okay. Each sub gets fresh points according to it's size, activity and admin preference.
Every month your karma in a sub gets converted into these new points. These points can then be used to tip others, buy animated emojis or badges to show off. They are also used to make your vote count more in polls.
Mods can give commenters fines for misbehaving and make posts earn less points.
Sounds very capitalist. I guess it makes everybody go to a few big subs, as little subs don't earn anything. And those big subs are overrun by a few big players who floated to the top and stay there because of their influence. Little subs get overrun by alt-right as the fines mods can give there are just pocket money.
But that's what you get when ideology and dictators rule.
Sounds completely awful. They are really good at draining the fun from social media.
They are gamifying the experience. Soon there will be loot boxes randomly found...
The best pack size to buy orangered gems with your points is of course the largest pack, but you'll get slightly less than you need to upgrade your narwhal's midnight baconator so you'll need to buy two packs
Oh buddy. Are you familiar with temu? Like alibaba or wish or Amazon. Well they have a fish feeding game that incentivises you to log in every day and do stuff like share and buy etc to potentially get a discount etc. It's insane. A MARKETPLACE APP WITH A GAME TO GET PEOPLE MORE HOOKED.
I hope subreddits can allow more "if this gets x upvotes I'm posting with 2x [subreddit related image]" just to subvert this stupid system.
I doubt that, it's against site-wide rules
You are right. One can still dream of Ewans (from 5y ago) or grains of rice (from this year)...
