    They were a zero-effort money printer. Why on Earth would they ditch them?

    This makes no sense at all even from their perspective.

          I think they’re changing how awards work. A portion of the award price will go to the awardee.

          It’s going to be a very cheap way for them to pay freelance writers / creators.

          In other words, imagine something like TiqTock with lower quality content.

            Ah, interesting. I never really got into the TikTok so don’t really have a reference point.
