Comments asking for upvotes and gold gonna be out of hand
"...and remember guys, if you liked this comment please UPVOTE and GILD!!!!!!"

"thanks for the gold, kind stranger"
All these typing makes my hand sore. Did I mention this supplement that is good for muscle cramps? You can buy it now at mychannelstore dot com!
Remember all those posts that sometimes will come up in r/relationship advice or subs like that portraying really vulnerable people that are really down on their luck ("Im a single mom/dad and have to do horrible things so that my children can eat" "Im an abused teen and can't escape my home" "Im trying to escape a borderline cult" etc etc)?
Now, Im sure at least some of those were fake to begin with (I don't have anything against those subs or those stories, but you can't guarantee every single one of them is true). Now imagine if they could put a little edit in the end "thank you all, you are so kind, I managed to sign up into reddit's content program, so if you want to help make sure to upvote and leave some gold, it means so much".
In those subs, people were already helping out how they could (I would often see people offering to send food or stuff to OPs home, things like that)... so that's not gonna backfire at all if its implemented.
