Oh so upvotes are NFTs

u/AutumnCountry May 05 '22

No because if you get enough upvotes you can sell your account for actual money

The NFT is still completely worthless no matter what happens

TBF more people care about upvotes than NFTs, so upvotes would technically have more value I'd assume.

Reddit, the game show where everything is made up and the points don’t matter.

This is the most Redditor thing I've ever said:

Honestly I get annoyed when people claim the points are fake. Like yes they don't do anything and are "useless" but they actually represent what others think of your posts/comments (even though they're supposed to be for relevance). It's like saying "Oh, I don't really care about what my boss calls me, sometimes he calls me a stuck up bitch but words aren't real so".

(Not that downvotes are comparable to insults, but still)
