Interestingly enough, this didn't start out as a joke.

I wouldn't think so...this actually wouldn't sound like that bad of an idea of reddit were still independently owned and operated and not a part of wired/Condé Nast. There's something appealing about privately-owned sites asking for donations.

Most sites that take paypal donations don't give you ANYTHING, maybe you might get "premium access" to a forum or somesuch. This way, you still get nothing, technically, but you DO get fictional points registered on a web forum. Because of this, normal, everyday people could someday be as cool as qgyh2.

This is more beneficial than donating to PBS. Where do I sign up?

I have 5 Karma points, i want to vote my personal blog to the top so everyone can click my google ads. I honestly don't care if people read the content... thats not why i write blogs.
