Reddit rolled out a new program today that allows the platform’s biggest contributors to earn real-world money for their virtual rewards.
allows redditors who meet certain requirements to receive real-world money for their awarded content. The company is also revamping how post / comment rewards work by eliminating Reddit Coins in favor of all gold all the time.
The Contributor Program is open to redditors who are 18+ years old, in an eligible location , have an account “in good standing” and meet karma minimums. Reddit will grant “standard contributor” status to those with at least 10 gold who received between 100 and 4,999 karma in the last 12 months. Beyond that, “top contributors” will need a minimum of 10 gold and over 5,000 karma from the preceding 12 months.
You can check your eligibility by navigating to the program page via your profile menu. If you can join, the “Get Verified to Start Earning” button will be highlighted and tappable/clickable. Reddit also made some interface changes to match the new emphasis on gold. Gilded posts and comments will now display a gold upvote icon in place of the standard one. The platform also now lets you award and purchase gold straight from a post: You can now long-press on the upvote icon for a post or comment in the Reddit mobile app to choose between giving one and 25 gold awards. A single gold will cost users $2, while they could pay up to $49 for 25 of them.
