View submission: CCIP-102 - Allow memes on r/cryptocurrency again
I think it's best that memes and other content are kept separate. They are a heavy moderation burden, squeeze out quality content, and reintroduce a karma farming angle where there's a big difference between value provided to the subreddit and rewards.
Every time someone has wanted to bring memes back, I've asked why not just subscribe to r/CryptoCurrencyMemes if that's the content you want? They never respond.
Something we could do now that reddit is out of the mix is add r/CryptoCurrencyMemes to the distribution and weight all karma there much lower. I think that would be the best situation for both subreddits, moons, mods, and the users.
Not terribly important to the point, but I would dispute that r/CryptoCurrencyMemes has not caught on. Other than our new sub r/CryptoHelp, it's been the best growing subreddit in our network https://i.imgur.com/Upqz2Hm.png[1] Just like any crypto sub, it slowed during the bear or crab months, but it's picked up when the market has.

95% of the moderation of r/CCMemes has been deleting memes that are meant to advertise and usually don't even have any humor. That would be a very negative stream of content to add to r/CC. It's also much harder to apply filters in a general sub like r/CC than to a meme sub.

You could even look at a basic 0.1 moon per upvote on the post only for example; and potentially with limits/caps to help manage as required. That's matches the trial/beta test you ran on r/cryptocurrencymoons before rolling Distro back to this sub.

I hadn't really considered the can of worms this could be for mods.
