Just fyi to prevent misinformation, reddit disabled buying coins when they announced it was being removed. So all these points are leftovers
Also due to this people are even more willing to give out awards, since reddit announced that all coins will be removed from your account after September.
Lots of them are likely leftover points due to the deprecation of awards.
I never understood why people spend money on reddit. It’s fucking stupid.
They used to give out awards to gift daily to encourage people to use the official app. You could also give out gold if you got several gold. I never spent any money but did give out awards.
Reddit premium did make the website more enjoyable. I’d never buy it for myself, but I gave it to a couple of friends over the years and the thought additionally was similar to me paying donations to Beehaw: wanting the website hosting the communities I participate in to keep existing
Why is it being deprecated? I thought it’s a major income for them.
Because Huffman and Musk are apparently (no, I’m not making this up) good buddies who share tips on how to run social media companies.
By “run” do you mean “destroy”?
Yes, that was the joke, I was being facetious.
I guess they are going to roll something else out to replace it
Let me guess, NFT or something blockchain related.
Doesn’t Reddit already have NFT avatars?
Because the owner wants a bland social media with no soul.
Awarded - apparently I have gold points there for some reason, and an IM saying they’re about to be removed.
If you ever receive gold or higher you get some coins + premium membership for some days. I don’t know if it is still applies.
Basically 99.99%

The issue is, most of the people left on reddit are damn near addicts. Or those who weren’t directly affected by the api and therefor don’t care and just jump on the fuck spez cause hating ceos is cool*.
(CEOs should be hated on don’t get me wrong, but for actual reasons and be held to that hate, not just hating for a trend)
And they misspelled CEO. Fucking achievement right there.
