The "Front-page of the Internet", Reddit, has asked the Ethereum Community for help.
Reddit has already introduced "Community Points", which is a sort of appreciation token for quality posts and comments given to members of various Reddit communities for their efforts.
The fact is that they have not being used by many so far, and they are not a central part of using Reddit. So far from what I've read, they can be used as votes in community decisions. The number of community points people earn is the cap of their votes. So this is an effort to create better communities where the people with higher contributions will apparently have more votes.
There seems to be an issue though which Reddit recognized and asked Ethereum Foundation and projects that are building DApps on Ethereum to contribute. They came across scaling issues, as Reddit is seeing 450 million visitors each month. Reddit with this post asks for contributions for their scaling issues which has them perplexed over the appropriate course of action they should take.
"We prefer solutions that do not depend on specific entities such as Reddit or another provider, and solutions with no single point of control or failure in off-chain components, but recognize there are numerous trade-offs to consider"
Reddit clearly wants a decentralized solution but also highly depends on this being scalable and secure as they claim on their post. This brings up the Scalability Trilemma as presented originally by Vitalik Buterin. Louis Tomas is a YouTuber which I don't usually watch because I don't enjoy watching price predictions and fomo. Still, with this video, he did a good job explaining it.
It seems that Reddit is actually asking from Ethereum to solve a problem that no one still wasn't able to solve and Ethereum is trying to do so with Ethereum 2.0.
