Incredible system! You buy gold for $1.99 each, then the awardee can cash it out (terms and conditions apply) for $0.90 (or $1 for top contributors). Just put a PayPal in your profile and cut out the middleman and his 100% markup. Meh, whatever time to spin up a repost/karma bot - might as well cash in if reddit is this intent on their site going to shit. I’m just going to feed the top aita posts of all time into an ai bot and let it create garbage “golden up vote” bait.
Most of the bots all work the same, as an example they find a popular post and repost it knowing it will be popular, and if you have multiple bots all the better while you copy popular comments from that same thread and make those comments knowing they will be a net gain. Of course karma didn’t matter so the reposting of popular content was just to make the bot look like a real user by having content and comment history for the real end goal of propaganda networks where articles can be posted and bots can go agree, disagree, or be antagonistic (trolling) to xause dissent towards specific groups. Advertisement networks where products or services are promoted by either posting links and discussions, or by searching for discussions in progress and recommending things. It all boils down to manipulating and influencing for a favorable outcome, it helps control the narrative when you can promote or bury the statements and things you want and doing that requires lots of followers or lots of bots.
