That’s a stupid one though. Why would you get enraged at something that was only made to make profit for the reddit guys? There’s no real value on reddit coins or awards, it’s just a jpg or gif for somebody’s comment or post.
If anything, it’s funny that they removed an easy cash grab they had.
they’re gonna replace it by a larger cash grab anyways

It’s probably gonna turn subscription based. As in, you have to subscribe to not only send Thank-Yous but also receive them. What Reddit wants are paying customers for their IPO, not “users”.
I dunno. On the one hand, it was an obvious move by the admins to distract users from the protests and exodus. On the other hand… it kinda worked? I dunno what purpose or angle this BizIn article has either.
