I was on reddit those years [...], but later I just quit. It became just a shitshow.
Same. Deleted mine in Jan 2021.
One thing I notice on r/Bitcoin is the numerous questions that are essentially duplicates of others recently asked, so essentially the only replies are snarky replies like LMGTFY or "look at the post above yours, id10t".
Now if the person asking a question gets a decent response they might tip, and that increased likelihood of a tip might help bring the likelihood of a question getting a response.
This incentive working can be seen with StackOverflow and Quora, but for karma points. F karma points, ... I want sats. Even if it just 1/10th of a penny's worth -- I feel more appreciated receiving 2 sats than I do from "here's your silver medallion", or worse, ... "I bought some reddit gold for you" or whatever that nonsense was.
