If they aren’t going to pay mods who are they planning to pay to make sure bots aren’t gaming the system? This is going to fail hard and we’ll see another influx of disgruntled migrants when they take it away.

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

It's also guaranteed to be subject to mod corruption. You think a mod won't remove posts so their's or an alt/friend hits top page more frequently? 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.
