[ WP ] Reddit karma can be used as actual currency .

The 30 second adblock dodging unskippable youtube ad started rather innocuously. A young Asian man in his mid-twenties sat behind a desk in a button up shirt with a simple red tie. A look the infomercial actors seem to mastered crossed his face. It was somewhere between frustration and constipation. “ Do you hate your job? ” A confident disembodied voice boomed knocking the young salaryman out of his daily rhythm. After a beat, the young man nodded. “ Then why don ’ t you quit? ” 
 
 “ I need money, ” he replied. 
 
 “ What if I told you that you could make more money than you do now staring at boobs on the internet! ” The voice now commanded the man ’ s attention. Boobs and money. What more could a red blooded American ask for? 
 
 “ That sounds like my kind of job. ” 
 
 “ Well for the low price of twenty dollars a month, you will have access to an ebook containing /u/pepsi_next ’ s secrets on farming karma. /U/pespi_next is one of the top ranked users on reddit and also a member of /r/top. The subscription will also allow you access to his personal secret subreddit. ” The young man ’ s brow furrowed in deep concentration before he looked up at the camera. 
 
 “ Can ’ t I just check his post history and do what he does? ” 
 
 “ You could, but then /u/pepsi_next and his army of subscribers would downvote you until you ’ re homeless. ” A comically large frown crossed the young man ’ s face before changing into a wide grin. 
 
 “ Then, how do I sign up? ” 
 
 “ Just follow the link here. ” A link appeared on the screen below the man ’ s face. The cursor hovered over it as the ad ends. A scrolling wall of text flew past with legal jargon and other words. Risky click of the day.
