So, did these idiots give Reddit their money so they could “gift” these meaningless awards? [750x1334 - 246KB] (pic8.co)

If I’m ignorant to how those things work, let me know. But it’s my understanding you have to pay Reddit money for coins to buy awards or something like that.

So in typical Reddit fashion, these idiots unite “against” Reddit by……giving them their money??

You do get free awards by participating and you prepurchase credits, so there's a chance they didn't actually spend money for this. Pretty fucking slim though.

It's been so long since I had a reddit account I can honestly say I don't know what these awards are about. Can I get the ELI5 version?

See that? I used cool reddit lingo!

Why Reddit can not be trusted.

In November 2016, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman (/u/spez) (old.reddit.com) edited comments of users criticizing him. (theverge.com)

Putting words into user's mouths, which means making them appear like they wrote something they never actually did, especially on sensitive posts, is one of the greatest violations of user trust possible.

Although shortly after he applogized and promised never to do it again, it clearly gives away how Reddit tends to handle criticism.
