    Right, so in a good year, you’d have gotten some beer money from it. And in return, you’d have to give reddit your real name and credit card information.

    This is honestly even more pathetic than I ever imagined it could have been. Reddit is trying to emulate the “influencer” model from other social media, but doesn’t want to actually pony up cash to do it. YouTube has bought Mr Beast like six(?) houses at this point. Reddit won’t even buy your friends a round at the local pub.

      Right. Unless you’re a complete power-user whose entire life revolves around reddit, even the it’s a massive risk akin to saying, “I’m going to go start a successful YouTube channel!” (which would still be a better venture).
