On Feb 27 subreddit administrator u/internetmallcop announced that Reddit is now beta testing a new feature that allows redditors to tip user content with real money, not just upvotes, as spotted by CNET. 

On Feb 27, subreddit administrator u/internetmallcop published an announcement explaining a new feature that's arrived to the platform. As of Wednesday, redditors can tip u/shittymorph – famous for his Hell in a Cell copypasta meme – "for content that he posts to the subreddit", and it's only available on new Reddit, the currently optional redesign of the platform.
