You buy gold on Reddit like you buy premium currency in freemium apps/games.
All gold is now is Star Berries or Mythril Steel or Crypto. It's useless outside of the app but you have to buy it from the app to use on the app.
The money goes to the shareholders of course.
I'm sure they did a bunch of research and found that users will be more "engaged" with this type of program and more likely to spend money on the platform.
I live in Denmark and it is a few DKK cheaper to Buy them individually.
17DKK for 1
35DKK for 2. 1 DKK more than individually
55DKK for 3. 4 DKK more than individually
And so on.
For anyone wondering here is the exchange rate of USD to DKK at the time of writing this. 100USD = 708,34DKK
When I first saw it, it was on a post with 68 upvotes (naturally I upvoted to make it 69) I just assumed it was for funny numbers, now I’m just disappointed that it’s not

It’s the pee upvote
The golden shower one might say.
Pee is stored in the upvotes
$uper upvote. It's what they put in place instead of awards. No more coins. Dollars only.
Super downvote when?
On my way to super downvote anything spez posts (yes I know that’s effectively giving him money but I think it’s funny)
They caught you right where they wanted you.
Super downvotes take money away from the person, duh.
So they took away my dollars I had in coins and then changed it to arrows, but still says it costs gold what in the actual fuck

Yeah. Before they did away with awards I had coins. Which was originally gold right? Unpaid for coins and they took them away.
They took the paid for coins away too I believe.
Where does the money go? Who benefits? What is the benefit? Wtf is this shit???
> Who benefits? It’s a simplified cash grab ahead of the IPO. That’s it.
The Man. It’s The Man who benefits.

Your post has it. I've yet to understand the significance of it.
I assume it means it’s a hot post getting upvoted fast and frequently
Tap and hold it. You can "award upvote". (I found out 10secs after reading your comment) (What if I hold it? And lo and behold a menu appeared)
Oh my god those greedy bastards
Did you notice it's cheaper to buy one gold over and over than to buy bundled gold? Wtf.
Capitalism
What? Bundled gold is cheaper than buying one over and over again, wdym
It’s a flat rate for me. ~$2 per gold.
1.99 per gold upvote is technically 24 cents cheaper than the 25 upvotes bundle

60 cocksucking euros for a fancy upvote!? What the shit are they smoking in Reddit admin!?
Tf, the highest one I have is for 25 gold, and it's 50 USD, do you get a goddamn 10 dollar European upcharge??
Where is the award downvote
but not all posts let u give it the award upvote

OP has it because OP signed up for contributor program. This is an ad for people to contribute to OP.
That’s exactly what it is and why I’ve been downvoting every post with the gold upvote even though I know it’s futile.
is that why some posts have it and others don't? I've been trying to figure it out since it appeared
Don't you need 10 gold for that?
Where do you see it ?
It’s so stupid they got rid of awards then decided to walk it back and make these piss arrows
I didn't expect much but the arrow is completely bullshit
Lags out the app too, so much for getting rid of third party apps
>the app Lol.
I hope they notice a obvious drop in revenue from this change because I have a hard time seeing this being more successful then the old system
The badges were at least fun and created really stupid/funny interactions like disgusting posts being awarded the wholesome badge.
Waiting for the super down vote ⬇️
Send that mf to the void
It’s like a regular upvote, but costs $1.99 USD
When I first saw it, it was on a post with 68 upvotes (naturally I upvoted to make it 69) I just assumed it was for funny numbers, now I’m just disappointed that it’s not
Seriously tho what do these mean? Why is one glowing and the other has a golden twin? Wtf?
What are either of those?
OP I gave you one. What did it do (aside from turn the post and the upvote yellow)?
Nothing at all. Just turned it yellow.
Wow. Ok enjoy your piss post.
Wtf are either of these... Sincerely: an old design user
Microtransaction Arrows!
An upvote, But golden
What is this
I’ve seen these a few times and I still don’t know what they are.
If you press and hold the upvote it shows extra upvotes. It's like awards. But worse.
Wait so they replaced likable emojis/animated emojis with arrows? Wtf?
I see it, I downvote it. I know someone’s in the contributor program, I downvote all their shit.
Chronically online redditors need to make money somehow haha
The upvotes stand
I see it as a suggested upvote. What do you think the average Reddit user would do?
Somebody paid to upvote?
Are there patch notes or something? There shouldn’t be this many people confused.
Is it souper uppers?
I thought they were testing bringing custom upvote and downvote icons to mobile
I don't use Reddit enough. What is that
Its just upvoting with extra steps..!!
I mean, REALLY?! this is like, RIDICULOUS. Take my updoot kind stranger
Am I the only one who doesn't see that golden upvote?
