Ah, the lesser known "Sneetches" business model.

You'd pay money to get rid of some upload links? What, you have a second personality that would upload malicious stickers and emoji while you were sleeping?

Maybe he has team members who would try to use stickers as obnoxiously as possible?

That's Trello Platinum, coming soon. Somebody pays $5 to add stickers to your board, then you pay $5 more to take them away.

That's sort of how the SomethingAwful forums work. You spend 5 bucks to buy someone an insulting avatar, they pay 5 bucks to remove it.

How nostalgic! My favorite was one user started a thread for pictures you find really unsettling, his example was a woman photoshopped to have four eyes and two mouths. By the time I started reading it, his avatar had already been changed to that exact picture, with the caption "sorry".

That was a cool monetization system. I remember you could also buy custom emojis, which would be fun for a while and then absolutely reviled :awesome:.

Has it been confirmed that this isn't a joke?

If it was a joke you would earn coins for closing out a task and you could buy stickers with coins, except that the really fancy stickers would cost more coins than you could earn but then you could buy coins using a credit card ...
