Yeah this will make discussion 100x worse now that there's a strong financial reason to be ungenuine and follow the hive mind. Not to mention this decision has terrible timing with the rise of ChatGPT bots, as if bots weren't already an issue. Did they think these bots were actually going to use the API? I'm sure communities will love Reddit offering users money to ruin their communities.
Yeah. Who is going to risk a downvote with real money on the line. Actually I can see brigading wars to "ruin someone financially" being a thing.
