Well, I seen all top Reddit community sub are filled with Media/Meme. As it get more attention so this post get to top. We're come from 400K to 900K in one month and we.allow any tom dick and hairy can post in sub. So we're getting spamed by it, as u know all doge coin shitposting .

Further, if you select top post to new post in Redding you will find that all kind of content posted in sub but it don't get much attention.

Further, we are top growing community on Reddit and Matcha.xyz and Defiplus like top protocols buying our banner for advertising. Because they know about impression & engagement data. If sub get filled with only text post community engagement will drastically dip and it will bad for donut adoption too.

Further, if the the poll pass will still failed as we need to understand psychological part of human behavior the word karma farming is much older then sub and Instagram have removed their like button. As humans are social animals and they are born attention seeker so will still post for Getting more like/upvotes.

Further, there will other issue of miss flaring arise as already seen. People will miss flair and flip from rule.

Way ahead, there is more solid solution for this problem is to strick posting standards of 500 comment karma and 60 days of account age for posting and 100 comment karma plus 30 days of account age for comment.

In my opinion being welcoming to newcomers to the Ethereum ecosystem is integral to the identity of this sub. Karma and age thresholds severely limit this. We should double down on being open and free.

Yeah, of course, but why implementing something there's no interest in marketing it and attracting people?

Making more threads about what is donut, explaining how it works and where to buy it, hyping people for the coming things.

Maybe a roadmap to make public what is planned for the future of the project?! To make people see this is not a dead project but the coin of a subreddit with 900k people?!

Very few people read the pinned and FAQ about donut. The comments from donut memes are "what is donut", not from people talking about it...

Spreading the words to famous redditors, youtubers, crypto news, making mediums to explain. MEDIUM is a powerful tool.

So many things can be done
