My friend sent me this, the current state of Reddit. (I left during the app issue and haven't looked back)

That’ll be $49.99, pal.

Don't call me pal. But you know what friend? I think it would be hilarious if this image started getting used ironically.

Which reddit probably won't give any to the creator

You mean the commentor? Or thread creator? Nothing for anyone creating the content that warranted the upvote?

Think just who it's given too not any other part. You've thought this out more than reddit did

Actually, they will, a part at least

Only if the person has received a total of 10 special arrows recently, or something.

Curiously enough, 99% of awards go to people ineligible for a share of the money.

Sounds like buying expensive-but-worthless loot boxes to send as gifts

I'd rather receive a loot box than a $30 special reddit png that I don't even get anything for.

I guarantee the vast majority of gold rewards will be going straight into Reddit's pocket. The contrived requirements to get a payout are designed to keep as much of it for themselves as they can, while still saying it's "possible" for users to get some of the money for themselves.

I hope people start posting pictures like this instead of paying for them

I love the vibrant colours of that vomit.

I was just thinking the same thing. More than the usual amount of love went into that one, and most people probably wouldn't even stop to notice. The subtle fade-out at the top. That is some pleasing vomit.

Look at that subtle off-green gradient. The tasteful thickness of it… Oh my god, it even has ornaments...

I had to pause for a second. Most high def emoji I've ever seen. Can't believe I just typed that.
