Based on the language where they say there is something coming in the future, I would bet it's that system.

They want to invalidate all existing awards so they cannot be used to give people money under the new system and likely also remove the premium feature of getting awards for free.

People who want to reward content creators will pay for premium and awards instead of just premium now.

I don’t disagree. I’m not sure how that generates revenue for Reddit though. Unless it’s their attempt to capture content creators like YouTube. Or is it more like an onlyfans type idea where people pay the creator personally through the system and they system just takes their cut.

Eh. Whatever. I’m no longer on Reddit. It I’m mildly entertained by the drama.
