They are taking a page out of Musk's book and making Reddit way worse for no good rea$on

I mean let's be honest, coins and awards were literally just a means to siphon cash out of their userbase willing to spend money on the platform. Their status in the community is rather mixed with some enjoying the flair of them and others seeing them as little more than microtransations for people with more money than common sense.

Their removal just means less revenue for Reddit, which probably isn't a bright idea at the moment.

Right but people paid a lot for them. Hell I had 5k coins stored before I left reddit.

I'd be pissed if I didn't leave
