Reddit is ending Reddit Gold and users are furious::undefined

All those users complaining about their coins going to waste and I'm wondering why the fuck you'd ever spend real money on that.
That's like paying for porn.Entire OnlyFans community furiously typing
Don't you get to keep the porn, though?
Not always. They might have a limited download, whether in amount or in time.
You know the company and the users are completely divorced when you read something like that. Redditors have spent years telling each other that awards are useless and a waste of money - then the admins touch it and everybody flips their lid. I for one am glad I'm no longer part of that toxic relationship.
There was that confessional reddit mod post that admitted some mods were blowing thousands of dollars on bots to boost the popularity of their own sub. I've also seen people complain that they blew hundreds to thousands on shitty avatars.
I'm in awe at the sheer lunacy of some people. These are people that don't even know the concept of "touching" or "grass".
The problem is treating an entire community as some sort of singular entity. People do this shit all the time and make claims like "redditors are so hypocritical" when in reality you have two completely different groups of people saying different things but are both users in the same community.
I paid for coins on reddit to give gold awards to people so they could enjoy reddit ad free.
That was a cool thing to do. You're a nice person!
You could have given them a link to ublock origin (or on mobile some other adblocker in form of an app) instead for $0.
It was still nice of course, but just so unnecessary.
I was subscribed to reddit Premium for a long time (at the old, grandfathered in price), because it gave me ad free browsing, the ability to sort saved posts into categories and filtering subs from r/all before that was available to everyone.
Premium also gave you 700 coins per month, so now I have 20000 coins saved up.
Wanna trade gold?
Paying for porn is a good way to get quality porn, IMO, because you support the people making what you like. But if you're not picky, I suppose it doesn't matter. Whatever floats your goat.
