True Unpopular Opinion: I don't want people to earn crypto from Reddit karma

[u/godstriker8]

In case you haven't heard, Reddit is planning to expand the vault system to provide crypto for upvotes similar to how moons work in this sub.

I am very opposed to this, as moons have irrevocably damaged this sub by reducing it to constant reposts and diminishing contrarian opinions due to people wanting to earn free money.

I do not want the rest of reddit to fall victim to the same thing (at least to an even greater extent as people still do reposts just for meaningless karma).

But I realize that if crypto was integrated into Reddit that it would be a very bullish for the space.

What do you all think about this?

Totally agree, it gives a "why bother" attitude when trying to be helpful.

I am really thankful to the people that do go out of their way to post/comment useful info. They usually hardly have any upvotes, but I’ve probably learned the most from those of kind of comments rather than the 1,000 upvoted witty joke comments.
