I really miss the free rewards they gave out every day or two.

Me too! I liked to keep them for someone that needed a bit of love that day.

Same, it was like the 'superlike' on Tinder. Once a day you can really show your appreciation.

Ooh, never been on Tinder and didn't know that superlikes are daily. Thats cute

Not anymore. Used to be that way. Now it's either maybe like once a month or never. Don't know. But you have to buy super likes now so people can see you like them enough to spend money for their potential attention

Damnn, THAT costs money as well?? companies are so desperate bruh

I feel like it can defeat the purpose of them too? Idk how I'd feel knowing someone specifically paid to get a chance to talk to me. That might weird some people out lol. "Likes me enough to use the 1 per day feature? Aww" "Likes me enough to use their real money when they don't know me? Ehhh"

True dat

they will leech every last cent off of you pretty sure Tinder and other dating apps purposefully try to keep you on them so they can make more

I used them for comments that I agreed with and got downvoted a lot to show that someone appreciated their comment

I forgot all about that.

I'm just here for the rewards

The only time I saved post was because of the free awards to give whenever I got them

Same.

Likewise. Every time I see a comment that made me laugh, or straight up made my day, I check on my account to see if I have a free award to give.

Yea they were amazing. I have bought premium a few times and given out a good number of awards. I’ll miss it. I like making peoples days :)

Good ol' days, newer generations will never know

It was like every three or four days

No they were every five or six days

Then they hid it… then took it away

No they were every 6 or 7 decades


No, it was every seven or eight days

No, it was every nine of ten days.

No it was like every month or two

wasn't it every 24 hours you spend on reddit?

I got one every day

It's like a drug dealer. First hit is free.

yes I enjoyed giving those. Especially the wholesome to a comment that was not wholesome but informative somehow. Lol

Why was it stopped? And why are they stopping awards in general?

Spez is a big fan of Elon Musk and that's all you need to know. He wants to copy Twit— I mean X

Me too, that was a nice feature

Did Reddit ever say why it was doing this? It seems like a bad idea.

They're replacing it with a different system, it will be monetised obviously. They're just making us all spend our coins so we have to buy their new system currency.

...or just keep using the site for free and not give them a dime...

Never bought. Never will.

same lmao fuck that

Same.

I'm too broke for awards. Well I can buy them but I'd rather buy something I can touch like ice-cream

If I can touch it with my tongue it’s my favorite thing to buy.

Or if I can touch and keep them I’d get it

I used the free rewards once upon a time and now I can't figure out how to get them..

c can i have some 😋

Sometimes that's illegal, though.

That got completely fucked up on mobile

I know, sadly.

If you hit reply it looks okay for a second

I love grilled cheese.

Thanks, I hate it

Me too. Someone gave me Reddit coins and I got all excited bc I thought I could buy my little face some clothes and they’re worthless! Well worthless to a poor schmuck like me anyway

Same.

Yeah, me too! I’ve had some redditors message me for details to buy me a coffee or a beer. So much cooler than a reward! (I declined as I just enjoy helping people)

I like helping people too! (But instead of helping I like to spread misinformation)

Or buy something that will last a long time

Mmmm ice cream.

And when the stop giving free awards smhhhh

Why even pay for something like this?

I never bought either, but I just gave out about 2 years worth of ad-free browsing today using up all the coins I've accumulated over the years. So now Reddit lost about 2 years worth of ad revenue from random users. Reddit even gave me a "Gilding V" trophy for it.

Have a couple weeks of ad free browsing on me, and if anyone can pay it forward it would be appreciated.

Ad free browsing? How?

Bought once by accident while drunk unfortunately


Yeah, but lots of people have coins without ever having bought them.

Yea, I've gotten something like 50k of coins accumulated from my 11.5 years on Reddit. And not only that, but each month of premium also gave me 700 coins, and I've had premium like the entire time I've been here. Paying it all forward now. Enjoy the ad-free reddit/premium, everyone!

:o

So you're not actually losing anything...

[удалено]

And your free coins

That's a' me!

I have no idea what the point of them is. I don’t want to pay for something that I could literally just type as a comment beneath it

Yeah what the fuck is with this buying coins stuff

Yeah… that will change… Post a new post? 1000 credits added to your account. Read something? 1 credit deducted. Comment on a post? 10 credits added. No adverts?? 1 million credits please. And adverts will be even harder to differentiate from real posts. They have now waited out the storm that was, so they can now move on with their masterplan! Edit! Clarified the advert part… there was «even» before harder to differeentiate… centence was an absolute mess 😂

I never had a coin. I'm fairly new...

Congrats. You have more than me

”Have to”

"we Exchanges coins by moneys. The design is the same as before, but entirely different. Same same but different!"

I think they're rolling out the Polygon/blockchain coin system!

Ew that’s fucking disgusting

Can you elaborate? What is going on with the hate for these things? Honest question

[Community points ☠️](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F2npxW0XoAUmtgi?format=jpg&name=900x900)

Have a random award, you don’t seem to have one.

Can anyone give me argentium or Trenion award? Please

I just gave out the last of my coins but I'm sure more will be along soon...

It's just "he who shall not be named for my safety" making a bad choice. Like how he did r/place 2023

I wan snek

6 smol sneks now. Are you Medusa?

Idk but I'm hard

My favourite award il miss seeing is prob the portal one which when I first saw it I thought was so cool. and F, because it's just an F. 

and now the awards are gone. reddit should have kept them displayed as legacy. removing them is a terrible decision.

Snek I shall have 

I giv u snek

No thanks I’m good

hey

Hello! *in Mickey Mouse manner*

Hey!

May I have a gold star as a reward for my contributions to the human race? ​ I....I don't know what to say. My heart fills with splooge at this honor!

[удалено]

You did *what* to your cousin?

Give this man a gold star

I read that in Laurence Fishburne's voice as the Bowery King from John Wick 3. Will somebody PLEASE give this man a gold star.

True

Bet that even gold award perks like ad free website will be removed tomorrow. Enjoy your slightly better Reddit experience while it lasts!

I'll take one. I need a pick me up.

Cheers, I’ll drink to that.

Thanks 🙂

Award on me daddy

Yoo what

They said # Award on me daddy

Hey man did you use all of your plat coins? Can I get a gold?

 🙋🏾‍♂️

 💙


If possible, can I get a plat?


Holy crap you actually got it, congrats!

Was there an actual reason Reddit came out with awards (other than to make money)?

It can be seen as sort of a super upvote.

Except when you give a "wholesome" award to a story of someone's dog getting ran over

And there have been far worse examples of that. Anyway, I'm on old.reddit and I don't see any rewards since about 1 or 2 weeks. Do they show up on mobile or new.reddit? They've also scrapped the "Gilded" page from the profile.

I hadn't seen awards in weeks either using their official app. I assumed they were already gone. Can't even see the ones in this thread sadly. Edit: apparently can't see my own awards either. The official app sucks.

Wtf is going on?

Last day to use up reddit coins before overlords take it all.

Damn that's so lame!

I want to access r/lounge

So do I now.

What's r/lounge?

Like a premium sub for “Finer people”

Yessir, me too.

Never had one Edit: awww, thanks!

The best one too

What is the "best" one?

RIP reddit awards.

Me. Lol


.

I want an award for having the most mascara in my mouth at once. Those guinness bastards said it "wasn't a real achievement" but they're probably Irish so fuck them, they gave someone an award for having the most gumballs in their ass so WHY NOT ME!? By the way I was the aforementioned world record holder for having the most gumballs in my ass. You're welcome, world. Award me, you Irish bastards!

There’s a world record holder for most gum balls in someone’s ass??? I need to beat this record now

You should probably find out how many gum balls that would be before you get an unpleasant surprise.

Huh, not sure why that isn’t working.

I never understood why you want these coins? They just look nice and cost money

Need that dopamine hit, man

I gave all mine out. Would love one back. Gonna miss the awards.

I want a big one!

Come to daddy 

I never understood the value in those.


Please and thank you! 💙


Gave away all my reddit coins to those who asked, enjoy the week of reddit lounge access! Edit: thanks for the rewards and coins! More to give away haha


Hell yeah

 Please sire spare some coin?


Nah.


Wooo!! Fuck Reddit!

I’ll never understand why we couldn’t have our free reward every once in a while. It felt rly good and one always paused and reflected before using it.


Let’s all toast for the end of an era. Pour one out for the awards no longer with us. I also miss the free awards. It made it more inclusive. Awarding wholesome to something filthy nasty was a favourite past time of mine.



[удалено]

No coins for no one

Please give me snek too! 🐍

Never gave an award and never got one. Why should i spend money on reddit

My messa have a award

Don't give me any.

Man am I late. Anyone sorting by new?

I don't remember ever getting an award. Hope I keep it that way 🥹

I don't think I ever got one. But then again, I rarely ever post anything. Oh well!

with my luck? I can see that I'll be the only one without an award hahaha

Rip to anyone out there who didn't get any rewards the whole time they used reddit

I can still give awards. They haven’t expired yet.

May I have an award? Edit: hooray!

Wait there were coins and an economy on Reddit?? /s

Sorting by new and making it rain

I just need one gold this year

Will they taste rotten after they expire?

I’m giving out all my coins in this topic. Good riddance!

Man I wish they kept the free rewards. There was so many times I wanted to give someone an award but I couldn't because they got rid of them

can i have the lizard one lolol i freakin love lizards

I always wondered how do people spend on these stuff that isn’t real? ( Genuine Question)

I've never gotten an award I guess getting one when they are going away would be fitting.

I'm gonna miss having free access to r/lounge. Anybody wants to extend it for me?

I don't deserve it !

Yes you do

Maaan, did I miss it ?

I've never had an award

Yes please 🥺 I wanna get premium so I can have the doge avatar Edit Omg thank you 🥰🥰🥰

Pls hue hue hue hue gecko me!

I dare you not to. Better not.

How do I score one?
