Thank you for the correct answer! I would have gone on believing a lie had you not responded. Here’s their payout table:
Contributor Tier
Karma (Over 12 mo period)
Payout Rate (Dollars per Gold)
Minimum Gold for payout
Non-contributor
0-99 Karma
No payout; balance rolls over
n/a
Contributor
100-4999 Karma
$0.90 per 1 Gold
10
Top contributor
5000+ Karma
$1.00 per 1 Gold
10
So they charge $2.69-$66.99 for gilding and only give the contributor $0.90-$1, keeping the rest. Wow, sounds like a shit deal for everyone but Reddit.
I think the higher amounts in OP’s pic are multiples of “gold” (with $66.99 being 25 gold) and assume the payout would change per gold for what seems like a different currency than what that table is for (where 1 gold is $1.99 USD).
All that said, Reddit hasn’t really given any reason to give them the benefit of the doubt here, either, so it could very well be $1 per award no matter the amount paid for it.
You get $0.90 per gold - the fancier golden upvotes are worth multiple gold, with the most expensive one being worth 25 gold. So the post creator can claim 33% back

So basically this will give a very small handful of gallowboob-scale karma whores maybe a thousand dollars a year.
Assuming users are willing to pay for comments. I’d expect far fewer awards to be handed out now that they cost dollars.

so they keep 60+%. I am not sure why people willing to support someone won’t do it directly vs giving a high percentage to a middle man.
