Reddit is killing blockchain-based Community Points (techcrunch.com)

Reddit is sunsetting its blockchain-based Community Points product, the company announced on Tuesday. A Reddit admin (employee) shared the announcement about Community Points, which uses the Ethereum blockchain, on a few subreddits, including r/CryptoCurrency (which had its own “moons” crypto token), r/FortniteBR (which had its own “bricks” token), and r/EthTrader (which had its own “donuts” token).

The value of those tokens has, predictably, fallen off of a cliff, as CoinDesk reports drops of between 60 and 90 percent.

And Crypto once again fails to be a solution for another application. What a shock.

"Solution" is a bit of a stretch don't you think?

The "we're not making enough money" solution.
