I can confirm this is probably happening because some of their staff are leaky leaky among certain groups. Unless they cancel which I doubt.
I have suspicions that it might even be crypto related, they actively pursued a reddit blockchain thing at one point in the past before sacking the main person responsible halfway through the job with 1 week notice.
Predictions on how this turns out?
I have no idea about details to be honest other than a staff member that really doesn't like it there talking about it vaguely.
I expect it'll be linked to something everyone has to pay for. Maybe like Discord Nitro Boosting a server except applied to people? I don't know how you'd link anything to crypto to be honest that's just my assumption that it'll be maximum bazinga. The more obvious one is literally making a reddit gold style thing into a direct donation to posters and commenters that receive it.
Another possibility is that they might be taking some notes from Tiktok Lives maybe?
Thanks for the Reddit GoldCoin, kind stranger!
