    So a user issue 2.50 to buy a gold, then the receiver can cash out 1.00. So Reddit aims to make 1.50 for every gold awarded

    Absolute scam

      Well to be fair, before this they got all of the money for a tiny picture. So in that light they scam a bit less now.

      But of course this still is a stupid idea which will decrease whatever remaining quality Reddit has even more.
