I left a couple of months ago. Couldn’t be happier.
The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.
And let me guess…there are a bunch of Redditors on Reddit posting on Reddit about how awful Reddit is. And they are giving each other gold stars and slaps on the back for how great their Reddit posts are on Reddit on how bad Reddit is.
They actually just got rid of the stars, now you just tip people

This is where the fun begins…
I’ll just try spinning.
Not acting… spez just manifested a new irl problem
Holy shit I left because I was thinking reddit was over (sort of). That post is beyond what I thought reddit would do. It’s like they’re trying to fuck themselves and everyone involved for chump change.
This is hilarious. This is WORSE than Digg v4. (Though Reddit did a Digg v4 yeeeears ago when they installed /popular/ and began inflating vote counts heavily)
There’s really a guy on there that’s shocked that he spent $300+ on coins that give you nothing and that they turned out to be useless. They also have the same regular users saying that they’ll finally quit this time, but they’re just lying to themselves and for karma. They financially incentivize the website to get worse and are surprised when it does.
It’s absolutely insane to me that anyone would have ever spent money on that shithole of a site, let alone $300 on worthless jerkoff tokens
I honestly find it worse then NFTs. With NFTs you’re only destroying the environment a little bit and supporting much smaller mom & pop ponzi schemers. With Reddit you’re supporting a mega corporation that is actively harmful to a much wider population.
I am guilty of buying reddit gold but it was a long time ago. And it was out of spite. by gawd id do it AGAIN.
That’s the problem with traditional local internet currencies: reddit doesn’t support them anymore and they become useless. If only these coins were crypto-blockchained nfts - if reddit decided to no longer support those, then they’d be just as useless, but much more bureaucratically documented.
I don’t think I’ve read a truer statement on the internet.
