    So far, the Reddit contributor program is limited to users in the United States (to start, at least) who are over the age of 18 and can verify their identity via Persona and Stripe.

    Guys, here’s the real reason. So they can positively identify you. Evidently this is how much that knowledge is worth. They can probably then start selling your posted data to other companies that have also “verified” you via Persona and Stripe. Once those datasets start getting linked together, well I will let your imagination run with that.

      Millions will sign up anyway, and we will see a rat race worst than Youtube. Content will be repost of a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost, comment will be the wittiest of the wittiest without substance, whole platform’s opinion will tilt toward what’s popular just for that sweet sweet gold(now can be cashed out!), and spez will still have that punchable face.

      My initial thought. Whenever you do shit on reddit like sailing the high seas and doing some serious stuff. Once you opt in and be verified it can be linked back to you. No more masked on a account on who is behind this and that. Easy catch
