Looked it up, apparently someone datamined something out of the app that said you could earn money for getting karma/gold on posts.

Fake internet points are finally worth something!
Now redditors can earn real money for their contributions to the Reddit community, based on the karma and gold they've been given.
How it works:
* Redditors give gold to posts, comments, or other contributions they think are really worth something.
* Eligible contributors that earn enough karma and gold can cash out their earnings for real money.
* Contributors apply to the program to see if they're eligible.
* Top contributors make top dollar. The more karma and gold contributors earn, the more money they can receive.

This is absolutely going to get gamed to hell if it really happens. It also reeks of desperation.

So what Instagram did? They monetised Reels.

And we all know what shitty place Instagram Reels is, well in my country it is.

I haven't touched anything to do with Meta since I quit Facebook in 2016. What's Instagram reels?

Short vertical videos that are up to 60 seconds long.

Damn you must’ve noticed someone doomscroll on Instagram.

So they saw what Vine/TikTok was doing and did the same thing but worse?

You can check this link for a better understanding.

In addition to this, companies also sponsor influencers. So people naturally will try to gain attention, which means they’ll do anything and post garbage content.
