Something about this is very bizarre to me. On the one hand, offering ownership to heavy users sounds like a great idea, albeit one quite counter to Reddit’s demeanor and behavior towards users over the last couple years. On the other hand, isn’t this kind of like Netflix offering shares to the subscribers who stream the most content? Just because you use a service more than anyone else doesn’t necessarily mean you should be invested in the company. I dunno, I have mixed feelings about this, but I’m generally skeptical that Reddit ever has its users best interests in mind.

Nah, it’s like sharing ad revenue with content creators on youtube.
If they mean with big users, users that post and comment a lot and by that keep the community alive and kicking.
More incentive to repost trash, great.
