Reddit admins note: "you’ll receive a new shiny badge on your profile indicating you’re in the program and can earn cash! "
Hoping that reddit mods have the balls to auto-delete all posts from users who are approved for the monetization system. Knowing that they won't, I'm waiting for the Firefox extension and Revanced patch that auto-censor posts by those users.
Of course reddit will quickly remove that visibility.
Communities do have good contributors that make good content. Speaking to Pokemon GO, announcements are often wordy and lack key information (which pokemon can be shiny, for example). It's up to the community to post helpful infographics when events start to give a concise and accurate overview. In many instances, blocking top contributors will also block the best content.
Totally different story when talking about big, general topic subs like memes, news, etc. But why would you even browse those in the first place?
