As long as they honor what people have currently bought, honestly this is the first time they’ve made a change I agree with. Awards were usually used for trolling from what I saw

It doesn’t look like they will. It looks like you have until September to use or lose. Also, it looks like if you bought premium, you’re just losing that “feature” with no replacement value for your money

It also looks like they are going to implement some kind of “contriburor” payment scheme.

So Reddit is going to go from letting users pay them to put lil .gifs on a post and letting a user see more comments at once, to paying users for their content.

Yeah that sounds like it’ll really increase profit, I can’t see any way that math doesn’t check out /s.

I think they are trying to, either, do an only fans type thing where people can pay the contributors directly and Reddit just takes a cut, or to try to draw more creators in and pay like YouTube based on traffic to them. Either way, I’m glad I’m no longer over there. It’s all too money grubbing for me.

I have an annoying amount of coins still. What do you think would be the best way to use them? If they’re not showing up at all, it seems moot to award the anti-reddit/changes comments or posts.

I do too. I was given premium because alien blue and something else so I have tons and tons of coins. I don’t think it’s worth giving Reddit the traffic to give them out, especially if they are all going to disappear in a. Couple months anyhow. My account is still active I just haven’t been to Reddit since the 11th June.

Not honouring anything. Admin says that even the display of them will be gone. So everything people “bought” will be gone in an instant.

judy-funnie: “The visual awards themselves will go away, however any award karma from the award will remain.”

From the announcement, this is a “yes, but also no” because any unused coins on an account stop being honoured after Sep 12, when there will no longer be awards to purchase with them.
