  • I can imagine a high-karma account being monetized if there’s an audience following a specific user - akin to Twitter followers. Is this even a thing on Reddit? I subscribe to communities, not users.

    I just looked it up and there are indeed sites to buy and sell accounts, but they are fairly low-cost at around US$ 30. The only real value I can think of is for spam bots or organizations trying to manipulate public opinion using previously reputable accounts.

    Social media has proven to be a powerful tool for behavior manipulation, for both commercial and political ends. (ads and mis/dis-information).

    Wouldn’t it be nice to sell to a good actor? Does it even matter anymore since Reddit is going down the toilet?
