I always disliked the crazy number of awards when they came our, it felt like they all suddenly became meaningless when there were so many. I will miss gold though, getting that shit always made you feel like a celebrity
Reddit gold was great and classy design. Reddit silver should have died the same month it should have been released, April. The rest were dumb money grabs that no one really fell for, and that's why they're killing them.
Might as well throw the baby out with the shitwater.
Reddit Silver was at its best when it was a jokingly copy pasted poorly drawn image rather than an actual award. It was the way to show how utterly pointless and stupid virtual "gold" is that doesn't even go to the one you "rewarded" but rather to Reddit's shitty admins.
Reddit admins weren't always shitty. In fact... well, rest in peace, dude. You died trying to do a good thing for people.
I made a funny or thoughtful comment that someone with money really liked!
โฆyou laugh, but there are people whose entire career is based on creating that scenario.
In Apollo I turned off awards sometimes especially if it was a super popular post but that one Reddit ama was a time I was happy I had awards visible
