      This is Reddit we’re talking about here. You pretty much get three outcomes:

      1. People want the feature

      2. The feature happens at all

      3. It’s given the proper amount of thought and oversight

      Pick 1

Not that I think most mods and users are that kind of person, but capitalism corrupts, and a lack of profit motive was a huge thing that kept most communities together and friendly, because karma was basically just monopoly money.
