this will probably help advertisers and political groups astroturf all of reddit.

So it'll work as intended then.

    Yup. That $50 option is going to be 75% business/political co, and 25% real users.

    Even if the former’s 99%, Reddit does not give a shit as long as they collect the revenue.

    This is basically Citizens United for Reddit, but substantially worse because at least with CU, they’re required to disclose donors. Reddit allows these awards to be bought anonymously, so you’re rarely able to understand who is doing the manipulation.
