then don't think with money!

what if after we made 20 posts or 100 comments we could give one post/comment gold?

that'd be fun!

That encourages bot or otherwise low-effort comment spamming which we also don't want.

let me dream that at least one online community has the decency to not try to grind the fun away out of a simple feature

or make it upvotes then, 200 post upvotes & 500 comment upvotes

It would only promote karma whoring. I mean, I'm bad enough already, do you guys actually want to incentivize me?

do people actually care that much about upvotes?

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

Some. Idgaf. I just like sharing memes.

I'd incentivize Flying_Squid or SatansMaggotyCumFart, not you though.

You will find yourself quickly earning my praise with such posting.

Yeah then if you wanted more to give away you can buy 20 gold for 5.99
