Did r/cryptocurrency actually take Moons seriously? Wasn't it just some playful thing where no one cared too much what happened to it?
I have no idea since I never hanged out there. But if they were taking it seriously, then they're bigger fools than I even thought.
it became a farming circle jerk operation. it mainly served to enrich the mods of r/cryptocurrency since they were the main beneficiaries of the share payouts.

Well, r/cc was such a cesspool that the only reason to visit it in the first place was to farm moons. Flicking through the posts and comments it seems like a lot of people lost a lot of money.
The sub will probably be higher quality for lack of spam incentives. It'll also be much more quiet, as with all alt-coin subs in a bear market (even r/Ethereum is pretty dead relative to r/Bitcoin).

everyone wants to ride the wave of the "next bitcoin" to become fiat rich.
looking forward to the looks on everyone's faces when they realize the "next Bitcoin" is Bitcoin.
