Reddit is getting rid of its Gold awards system (www.theverge.com)

Reddit is going to sunset its current coins and awards systems, meaning you won’t be able to buy Reddit Gold for posts you like. However, it is working on a new system for awards.

After they introduced several other awards except gold, the awards completely lost its meaning (and value) in my eyes. I still remember the bliss I felt the day I discovered Apollos "hide awards"-setting.

I remember when people on Reddit would downvote immediately if someone used an emoji in the comments and then proceeded to pay for awards that are pretty much just emojis.
