My friend sent me this, the current state of Reddit. (I left during the app issue and haven’t looked back)

    Very good pointing! I am not a lawyer but isn’t this something that is technically illegal? Or perhaps not, do donations need to be truthful in plain terms of how the funds are used ?

    The only way I can see donating to reddit could be argued as helping/supporting contrubiters by having the platform and audience available.

      I think in 2023 parlance the claim is probably plain enough to be “truthful”.

      Giving gold supports the contributors you love

      It’s pretty well established that receiving gold on reddit is perks like… a gold star or something, rather than actual real gold.
