Not exactly the way I proposed it to Steve Huffman [1] but happy to see reddit experimenting with the idea of value for value. A few questions they hopefully will try to answer:

1. Does trading values (e.g., money for content) make for a more peaceful environment in social networks and other online communities?

2. Does allowing an easy and voluntary way to reward content creators improve the quality of the content (e.g., higher accuracy, fact-based arguments, better ideas, more toleration of different ideas)?

3. Can users make enough money from content creation without relying on advertising (thus disrupting journalism and even removing the draw for companies to sell private information)?

4. Will users start to think in terms of exchanging values and, if so, will these thoughts then spillover to other parts of their lives?
