    I found Reddit Gold and Discord Nitro’s gifting systems to be smart ways of monetization.

    There are people who, despite what you try, cannot or will not pay you. Gifting allows you to keep the people that positively contribute on your platform while still earning money from elsewhere.

    Amazing how swiftly they’re progressing with their enshittification. Makes me re-think all those 9 years spent there.

      Dont worry… They are replacing this with almost direct monetary contributions.

      There was a leak about how contributors will be able to earn money from updoots.
