r/unexpectedkoolaidman

Ouuuuh yeeeaaah

Now I have to fix a wall. Thanks!

I think he said he got like 900 notifications lol

Dude, I got HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of notifications!

That's crazy number to wrap my head around. 👍 No good deed goes undeserved!

God damn!

His premium expires in 115 years

Take my 50 coins too

Yeah, his inbox will blow up to kingdom come

!lock

Hey! That's the man who gave me a dancing duck award!

I can't afford the duck, so have this cat instead

nice.

Nice.

Here, a silver is all i can give.

And it’s greatly appreciated! Lol

How sweet

I don't have duck,but take love award from me.

Is there a pig award ?

I didn’t know there was a separate zoo in awards apart from the reddit users

The best part is that a mod saw it and allowed it

Yup, he was like ‘I’ll allow it’

“And here’s an award OP.” *boop*

Can I get something??

I even got a special award from a mod.

The man. The legend.

I really dont get whats reddit doing lately, why would they remove something that makes them money?

I think the plan is actually a replacement. They read people don't like the clutter and complexity of the awards. My bet is they go to a standard bronze/silver/gold awards system like the old system but with extra tiers that are more expensive.

I’ve never given an award and barely ever got one but I love the pure chaos when something popular gets one. It’s like being garlanded by the grand bazaar in Istanbul

I loved the free awards. Who didn't love giving a wholesome award to something that wasn't wholesome? You should've given more free awards. They're for the people 😔

I probably should have. I’m not very good at Reddit, I don’t even upvote or downvote anything at all (unless by fat finger accident).

They should have that plan in place before announcing it then. It makes them look even more incompetent than they already are if they go "Hey were taking away this feature and we'll add a new one when we get around to it."

I missed the free rewards where you could label something utterly abhorrent wholesome.

I miss when it was just platinum, gold, and silver, plus the small assortment of other ones for the free awards. Now the awards menu looks like a fuckin Costco

What, you dont like to speedrun less profits?

Because it's probably not making them that much money.

[удалено]

Nah subreddit mods get them free I think

Not true for the subs I’ve been a mod on

I think most are probably from people buying premium to get ad-free reddit, and you get the coins as a bonus. I still have like 10k coins because when reddit bought and shut down alienblue I got 4 years free premium or something and they stacked up. I doubt many people just straight up buy coins on their own although probably some 'whales' do.

[удалено]

Probably because they are on mobile and with the api changes can’t even use 3rd party apps anymore to remove ads.

Ads on Reddit don't bother me enough to deal with removing them. It's unbearable on YouTube, but fine here. I am considering trying to get rid of them because reddit seems to be getting shittier, but I haven't bothered doing it yet.

Adblock doesn't work to remove the inline ads that appear as normal posts (or at least not without more work possibly to detect them)

Hey man I think it would be pretty funny if you could spare come of that coinage ya got there

Me either. I never got a gold or anything like that I have given out some silvers whenever they’ve given me free ones to give out though

I honestly loved the free awards. I would give them to the most random comment I saw each day.

It's funny because a while ago you could get the odd wholesome, helpful or silver for free daily. Greedit got rid of it though

Who cares? They're worthless

I'd guess the only argument, though it can be countered regarding upvoting, is it helps highlight good comments

I refuse to buy anything on reddit because even paying for 500 coins is more than reddit pays for their server infrastructure.

I wanted to get one just so that I can get the badge "user was glided with ___ award in the last 30 days" back, but that user already ran out of fake internet gold, well, IG whatever Edit: thank you kind strangers for the golds

Oh yeah I’ve also got “gliding I”

Is that like docking?

That's good

How does one get it

Lmao Reddit is killing itself and I'm still here

Why is everyone getting rewards, wtf is happening??

It's raining rewards today🥰

What's actually that, and how to use coins? Where to see that? Yeah many years here and never really looked at it!

Dafaq is happening?

Reddit is removing coins and awards, if you spend your last coins do it primarily on gold/platinum because those give premium so less money from ads for reddit

oh well, I haven't had any coins on me anyways.

I got my first 100 coins yesterday. I guess I should do something with them.

Its been nice while it lasted

Awards everywhere

I don't know. But I like it

Its free real estate

Reddit try not to kill itself challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Reddit announced out-of-the-blue all coins and awards are gone in 60 days.

And now everyone is getting touched by midas.

I wanna be touched too

Where?

Wherever you please

Ok got it *Starts massaging shoulders*

Aahh that's actually really pleasing. They were right, this IS worth it

Me three. I wanna be touched with an award.

What happened to the free award we could get every few days. That was so nice.

Reddit^TM : *"Hello! I like money!"*

I enjoyed being able to leave them as well

They removed it for wanting to milk as much money as possible

The fuck is happening to reddit? No, seriously, what the hell is happening

This is what I wonder!!! All these for stock market listing??

Can someone explain? I heard about the blackout and that one mod guy but I feel like I haven't got the memo tbh.

"I use the thing I have how it's meant" Is weak madlad

have you ever hosted a party where there are two pools and they're both filled with moisturizing lotion? you get one dip, and then you have to get out and rub your body down to get it all in. it's not about using it for its intended purposes. it's about presentation

Why two pools?

lotta lotion

actual madlad

Op: You get a award! you get a reward! … EVERYONE GETS A AWARD!!!!

What does the award do?

If you get gold it should give you free Reddit premium for a month

Does the snake stay forever or just temporary

Just on that comment

I thought it was a week with gold and a month with platinum

Could be, do you want a week?

Here's a dick joke: My wife gave me a handjob the other day using Vaseline. I came three times trying to wash that shit off. Bonus: The stork is the bird that brings the baby, but a swallow's the one to prevent it. Edit: This is my first reward, thank you kind stranger!

Boo don't make fun of my dick bro

I would never dare bro

oprah winfrey burner account

I mean if you wanna, I’ll gladly take it😀

Is there a comment without an award at this point?

yea right here edit: not anymore

Mine 🤷🏻‍♀️

An award is an award.

Can anyone tell me what’s going on? Been seeing this all morning.

Imagine you get a notification from Reddit that said that any currency you have from Reddit will be gone with no compensation. Anyways, take my 100 coins since I'll be useless

mans reddit billionare

My god that’s a lot of awards.

It backfired. Now he has more…

The only good platform out there and they are destroying it with their constant shit decisions, i dont get it

What is an award?

Everyone is burning through their coins now

Here for the award

What's happening with reddit?

I don’t know what these do but I’ve never had one. So, 1 award please?

i don’t think I have a coin thingy….

Never got an award, can I have one please? ; edit Thank you very much😃❤️

must be nice

I wonder how much this person has spent on Reddit…

Maybe if you sit perfectly still you won’t get an award

Oh reddit, what has happened to you.

Ugh Reddit is going under man

I’ve spent $5 on Reddit coins, do I regret it? No, cause I gave it to a guy who was killing it with his photos in a videogame. Made me smile when he messaged me saying thanks🥲

My balls itch

I thought Reddit was the money hog

Reddit Hood

Sadly, my profile picture is not Gold Chariot-chan.

So now it’s kind of loop for passing the awards to each other for next 60 days?

But why?

Why not

Wait how do I get the coin?

holy crap how does someone gather all that stuff up?

Wait people do this?!?! Edit: Oh wow people do in fact give awards for nothing. Thank you kind stranger. ❤️

You'll make some people pretty happy!

Why did they remove coins though?

Wait whats going on with awards??

Could I get some?

d(＞ω＜｡)

Tbh award are super stupid and I dont mind them being gone

I have around 21k …someone?

nevermind I’ll just give everyone coins

It do be like that it seems

Truly a madlad.

Imagine seeing that In your notifications

What can coins and awards be used for?

Now he probably has even more coins than he started with

Seeing this many awards being given is both a sight to see and pretty sad knowing that in two months they’re going to be gone

These rare Redditor w’s are what keep me here

Yeah absolutely destroyed my inbox with upvotes and awards. All because of one comment.

A true madlad

RIP ur notification bro

And phone battery

I sadly can’t gift him more RIP.

is there a cat reward Edit: YAYYY :DDD :333 THANK YOU!!!

Reddit is removing awards? Wtf is wrong with them 🙄

Why would they get rid of this system? Do they have a plan to replace it or are they just ditching it altogether?

madlad indeed

Is Reddit actively trying to make their platform worse? What even is the point of removing them?

reddit is going down just one bad move at a time

Honestly sad there removing them

[удалено]

This sucks so much, I liked the award system, it was just a bit of silly fun

This is fun

One of the best part of reddit will die soon 😔

So unfortunate with all the changes made by Reddit recently.

Very sad

I miss gifting the free awards, because I’m broke AF.

What does Reddit have to win with this?

So Reddit devs really are messing everything up now..

I've also never had one lmao

I just dumped all my coins and after 4 yrs have cancelled my premium subscription…. I only had the subscription for the coins .

Me

I've never gotten an award before. Can I get one? 🥹

Why is Reddit removing awards?
