Current situation r/EthTrader Special Memberships currently offer subscribers the following perks:
Customizable user flairs
Ability to post GIFs
Ability to approve posts
Bypass account requirements for subreddit participation and Donut distribution eligibility
Special Memberships are regularly worked on, with new benefits introduced each season to increase value and exclusivity for subscribers.
Problem Subscribers do not receive exclusive benefits for specific post formats, despite improving the Donut ecosystem through memberships. To make sure subscriber funds are well spent, certain posting types should be reserved as exclusive perks, thus prioritizing subscribers' investments.
Solution Make image and video posts an exclusive perk for r/EthTrader Special Membership subscribers. This would apply to the post format, not the post flair. Basically, only subscribers would be able to create these types of posts.
Advantages Increased value of Special Memberships, possibly encouraging more users to subscribe.
A better balance of effort and reward.
Supports the Donut ecosystem by increasing subscriptions, thus making DONUT slightly more deflationary.
Disadvantages Non-subscribers might feel excluded from sharing media content.
Potential decrease in the number of media posts, though this would most likely improve overall content quality.
Conclusion This proposal aims to improve subreddit content quality while adding value to r/EthTrader Special Memberships. Restricting media posts to subscribers would create more incentives to support the community.
