    While I appreciate Spez being burned at the stake, why are there so many fucking awards on things. People know that those directly contribute to Reddits revenue right?

      I hope most of them are those random free awards Reddit gives out sometimes

        If there is a god then maybe.

        unfortunately I think we’re pretty certain that god is dead and we killed him so…

          Do you think… god stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he’s created?

      There is a relatively large probably of many awards being from reddit themselves (they can literally edit comments of everyone, change the score and definitely can add awards)

      But some are definitely from idiots that bought them with money.

        Youre probably right. Man how cringe is that, the idea that Reddit staff is giving themselves rewards.

      I’m sure there are some people purchasing those, but you also get some for free. Looks like I have 800 worth I could give out.

        Fair enough I suppose. I havent looked into awards in a minute, I assumed they’d gotten rid of all the free ones?

          Sometimes you get coin gifts if your posts go viral but yes the free awards have been gone for more than a year at this point. Its possible that many users have them saved up from the past.

      They also gave plenty of awards or coins away couple of years ago, just for installing the 1st party client and logging in.

      I do like to think people aren’t buying these as of now and just emptying them
