After 10 years, approaching a million comment karma, and many sourced write-ups and copy pastas I got a fair amount. Probably 200 of a mixture of gold and the occasional platinum. This was concentrated in later years as I better understood reddit, and understood specific audiences more. I strove to give genuinely good information, too.

Unfortunately reddit's admins are lazy, suck, and some subs' moderators even worse (looking at r/news) and they screwed me. Their loss. I'll find another platform to publish content, like here of course and elsewhere.

    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).
