    I got this message too… Guess maybe I’ll look and see what the hell coins i could possibly have … I’ve only had people give me gold like twice over 15 years though and never even really knew what the hell to do with it.

      I ended up with a fairly sizable pile of gold after ten years of drunken shitposting and never really got the appeal of the gold lounge sub. I just went around and threw random shinies at people saying especially vitriolic things about Huffman before nuking my account.

        Apparently I’ve got 300 coins sitting there…

        What the hell can I actually do with that?

        Anything?

          They have like 500 various awards so just pick some that look fun and decorate funny comments I guess.

          Actually useful? Nah

            I literally don’t even know how to do that though… Lol… 😂

            Guess I’ll Google it in the next couple days if I’m bored

              I plan to just let mine sit there forever in an abandoned account… unless I get around to scorched earthing my account. But really, I can’t be bothered to put that much effort into Reddit.

          I’ve also got 300, no clue what to do with it. Maybe give out 3 random silvers? Not that it does anything.

          I’m just gonna let mine die. I don’t want to use the site any more than necessary. The kinds of posts I’d want to draw attention to at this time are those that would appear hypocritical to give rewards to. I don’t want to give the impression of having given Reddit money (even though I’ve never bought a reward and all my coins are from receiving).

            FWIW, I overwrote and nuked my account at the end of June same time as Apollo went dark. Threw out every free award I had before doing it, while still using the free API and just the app I paid for.

            At this point, I’d say log in and remove your content, but interacting with the site any further is giving site traffic numbers they shouldn’t have. If you want to give awards, gild comments about the fuckery afoot
