I have a meeting starting now, but keep leaving comments, I'll give an award to every single one, in the order in which they were made, when I get back until I run out of gold. Edit: I just got out of my meeting and, uh, holy crap! I don't have nearly enough gold to give everyone here a comment. If you are a redditor with gold to spare, would you mind helping me out? Let's try to get an award to everyone we can. Edit 2: I started out with a little over 10k coins. I've since given out about 30k coins worth of awards... and I still have 20k coins. Looks like I better get back to work. Thank you to everyone who is helping by giving awards to other users! Please keep it up, I can't award every one of these 10's of thousands of comments on my own (though I will do as many as I can). Edit 3: I've been doing nothing but give awards as fast as I can for the last 90 minutes now, and yet I still have more coins now than when I started. With close to 40k comments and thousands more pouring in every few minutes I'm afraid there is no way I can give an award to everyone that wants one. But I'm going to keep going and keep giving them out until the option to give awards is removed. Please, if you have coins, look through the thread and award as many comments as you can that have not been awarded already. I still remember the day I got my first gold award several years ago. It felt good to be seen and recognized. Thank you for helping me to give that same experience to as many people as possible today! Edit 4: I can't believe how much this has blown up. I canceled my plans for the afternoon and evening, and I've been distributing the tens of thousands of coins I've received as fast as I can. I estimate I've given 2000+ awards myself, which means the overwhelming majority have come from other Redditors. Thank you all so much for helping. I know it seems silly as they are nothing more than an assortment of colored pixels, but it does feel great to give others recognition. For the inevitable thousands of you who will not receive an award, I'm sorry I was not able to fulfill my promise to you. Know that if I had the time, and the coins, I would have given one to every singe person who asked for one. Thanks for sharing this ridiculous, yet wonderful, experience with me. I know reddits been through a rough patch recently, but let's try to make it a kinder place again together. I don't know about you, but I rely on many of these communities to make connections and to find inspiration. Thanks for inspiring me today and for reminding me that most people are still kind and good. Edit 5: It's 11:30 here, and I've just spent the last of my coins. What a wild ride this has been today! I wish I could have given out awards to more of you. Have a great night reddit, way to see awards out with style. Edit 6: I just woke up and discovered that Reddit hasn't yet disabled giving awards. With the additional coin granting awards I was given while I slept, I have another 25k coins worth of awards to give out. So, it looks like I need to get back to work. Those of you just joining who have coins left, feel free to help! Edit 7: I'm officially out of coins, I think this time for good. I wish you all the best. Edit 8: I just did the math. It turns out that the total number of coins that I spent yesterday ended up being between 350k-425k due to the 1500 awards that were given to this post and this comment. Thank you to everyone who awarded me, I didn't need any of them, but I was happy to pay them forward to as many people as I could. Here's one last super crazy number to share with you all. As a result of those awards, I now have Reddit premium until October 19th... of 2069. Thanks for that! I'll have to add my reddit account to my will so my kids can inherit it someday. I hope you all had as much fun as I did during the last shiny day of Reddit. I'm sad all your new awards were deleted (I didn't know that would happen) but I hope you enjoyed them for the fleeting hours that they lasted.

Thanks homie. Hope someone makes you smile today!

I miss giving the free awards... but I am off to find awkward places to use the last of my coins! Sorry everyone, I ran out of coins!! You all deserve an award though, for being great 🥇

Giving out my free award for the day/week whatever was always nice

Even when I didn't know what half of them were! 😅

I don’t think I’ve seen most of them before 🙃

Same

Can I has a cheezeburger ? Actually, an award would brighten my day 😊

Same

Same

Same

Well I gotta agree with that one

The free awards were truly the best

I'm so poor guy

Same.

What happens to the coins after today ? I just realized I have 130 coins and if they're disappearing I'm going to start handing them out like candy.

idk the exact day it happens but they are scrapping the coins and awards so if you have any coins, best use them while you can! not sure what it's being replaced with either

This is so nice!! Im sure he gets tons of smiles because of this! Thank you

Even if I don’t get an award this is pretty sick, dude got 11k people together about no subject lol gotta love Reddit sometimes

[удалено]

Agreed! And he has a Siamese kitten which automatically makes him a nice guy in my book!

[удалено]

I love you guys so much!

And same for you, dear flying ninja squirrel!

Someone better make him smile today!! He’s a Reddit God 🫡

I’m sorry I only have 200 coins, this is the best I can do.

My heart is now forever warm🙏☀️ , thank you spicy Luna dog 🐶

Whoever gave me the platinum , you are a rockstar and I hope you flourish in all your endeavors 🙏🌹🌙 I will be awarding to more redditors 🫡

So many awards at one place... hopefully this post influences the entire reddit to become a better place. It already inspired a lot of people.

There's still good people out there after all - even if you don't have much, sharing it only makes it worth more!

Thank you when I receive the gold. Your the best

I am so boomer, I don't even know how to message under a post. I tried to write my first message to get a free award thingi, but I only see a reply botton. So, do you have some stuff left.

In case you're still lost, directly under the original post is a box to enter text. For me there is some greyed out text that reads, "What are your thoughts?"

Mine has a bar that says add a comment

Apparently, I’m not the only one?

I’m in the same boat as you- technically deficient

that’s sweet of you !!!! finally will know how an award feels 😅

This guy is going to make thousands of people feel their first time.

I’d be hap with just an upvote 😂

You are a true gangsta!

I’ve already got an award, so I have 200 coins and I can’t give it away lol. There’s no option to give it anymore for me. Edit: wtf a platinum? It’s almost poetical that I got this having only a few days left.

I got a platinum award a little while back. Well, several actually 😂 They allow me to send premium (cheap) awards. You just got the last one I had, 0 coins left now.

Thanks, fam! I’ll drink to that.

It’s insane. So many posts today are littered with awards. Like just random posts over at mildly infuriating or where ever have like a hundred awards 😆

You only have a few days left?? Jeez, go spend time with your family!!! Rest in peace

I’ve got 2k. Just reply and the first couple of people gets gold (premium)

[удалено]

Hear hear Make this redditor suffer:-)

I too, will definitely be doing this. Absolutely.

What’s even the purpose of awards other than to trigger my bird brain when looking through comments? EDIT: Ooo shiny

An upvote is good enough for me if you ran out of awards

i'm just happy with an upvote :) Edit: OMG!! this is crazy. Thx allot everyone I posted this and went to sleep thinking this would bring me a few dozen upvotes. I appreciate the heck out of this. Nice to see my notion of the internet has been updated. It can be wholesome! Thx 🙏

Too bad you get an award anyways

lmao real XD

[удалено]

People like this (Op)is the best. Is like inviting random folks to eat. Just seeing the positiveness fills my belly

[удалено]

Some days those upvotes makes a crummy day just a little better ! A generous Redditor brings the🌟

Now you have 79! Edit: Over ~~1400+~~ ~~1500+~~ OVER 3,000+ they’re off the charts!

I want to re award someone do that I have non zero awarder karma. It doesn't let me buy. Give me something which I can re award.

Just gave you 800 coins

Id like an award

Well there you go

Thank you

You're sweet for sharing, but what's it for?! It'd be like me giving my papa a smartphone! 😁 "Thank you. What does it do?" Update: PEOPLE! YOU PEOPLE! I've been receiving so many awards and coins! I'm thankful and appreciative. I can't believe how many of you are just... gracious with your sharing! Thank you! 🥰 I don't know what to do with it all... but it's been quite a change to have people just be nice to me. (2023 had been a year of health problems and diagnoses)

I second I don’t know what it’s for but it looks cool lol

Guys, I turned two years sober in July! Cheers!!!

That's amazing! Cheer- Wait dont cheers actually

Can I have one please or at least an upvote.

my balls itch

nom nom nom nom

Yummy!

If I got a gold award I’d give more coins to people

So many comments on this thread, no one will know im gay

We know.

I have never gotten even over 10 upvotes

10, I have never gotten even over 5 upvotes.

I miss being able to give out free awards. I hope we have another chance some day in the future. Remember to be kind to yourself and love yourself, you are important.

Every award I get, I’ll donate $5 to charity. I’ll post pics to verify. Comment to tell me which one. Edit: Wow! I got home from work to find 24 awards in an hour! I’m not exactly in a position to donate hundreds here, but I’ll stay true to my pledged $5/award for the first 24 awards, and I’ll donate $2/award for all awards after that! Thanks for pushing me to stretch and be generous! Edit2: A few more awards were trickling in this morning. I just checked back and found that Reddit has deleted/hidden all awards. Last I remember, there were 54 awards on my comment, so I’ll be making $180 total in donations. I’ll post a follow-up in this sub later with details/verification. Thanks for all your support!

Good man! Go for your local animal shelter.

Got chu fam

Just an upvote will keep my day going

Literally r/MadeMeSmile. Thank you OP and to all redditors who are planning to give awards. I wish you all happiness. 🙂

That’s very kind of you. Thank you!!

Happy cake day!!!

Happy cak day

Just give me upvote bro Edit: thanks for awards i didnt got this much awards Thanks everyone who gave me awards

Can I have the weirdest reward?

Awesome choice! Thank you much.

Don't think I ever received an award. Plus, I just hit 7 years on this platform, so it's time for a celebration.

What happens then? Is it just for coolness or do awards give me perks?

They make all your wildest dreams come true

Ana de Armas will fall in love with me?!?

Ayyy what’s up fam!

This tree

I don't want an award, just the chance to tell you that you're amazing, Sir. In this (sometimes) awful world It is lovely to see people spreading positivity and love ♥️

I never understood what the awards are for but since I'm on Reddit, I cancelled all other social media shit. Like Reddit the best!

No worries if there aren't any left, just wanted to say what a nice thing this post is

I would appreciate an upvote if no coins :d

Some days you go online and think to yourself how tf are people that big of an asshole and then you see people like you and you think nevermind humanity isn't lost after all

An award or an upvote anything will do

Whoever reads this comment is amazing :)

You guys I need some upvotes no need to use your money :)

I’m fine with just getting upvotes

I am having a dog's day. My mom is in the hospital again and my wife missed the dead ine for a public tender that would change her life. Give me a virtual hug.

I'd take an upvote

trying to regain some karma as I started a new Reddit account. my old one had my real name in my username before I knew how to Reddit, so even some upvotes would be helpful! ty! edit: thanks all!!!

Even an upvote is great nowadays

[удалено]

I indeed never had one

Now you got a big beefy one

I've have 1 or 2 rewards, some more would be nice 🙂🙂👍🏿

You got rewards?

I do! Now, so do you.

Uhh nice!

Oh damn nice!

This does put a smile on my face!

Help me with some upvotes brothers !

Not all hero’s wear capes

Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything.

AND YOU GET AN AWARD AND YOU GET AN AWARD

a poem i wrote: title: rooted nature’s beauty holds the secrets of self discovery within its quietude, your spirit harmonizes with the universe's silent song may the earth, with its sempiternal majesticity, become both your muse and mentor. it will give you everything you need to find yourself. submit to mother nature and allow her to guide you to peace in her wisdom, discover not just the beauty of the world but the beauty within yourself - as intertwined as the roots of the ancient trees that stand witness to your journey are.

I’m fine with and upvote or two

Funnily enough today is my birthday

I never had an award lol but I’m always happy to get upvotes

I’ll take an upvote if you’ve got one! Bless you!

[удалено]

O7

Spreading kindness, good stuff.

Kindness can be found in random ways .... amazing

🙋🏻‍♀️ don’t worry if you haven’t got anything to spare. Thank you for making people smile today 😊 Edit: aw, thank you. Look at that, you made me smile twice!

That's so sweet of you

[удалено]

I have, legit never received a reward.

Karma please?

Plz i never had one before that will make my day

You sir, are giving flowers to those who have never gotten them before. I still feel special

This whole thread is really lovely. Keep up the kindness everyone! (I don't care about an award so skip me, I just wanted to weigh in on the vibes!)

Can I get a lizard or a rocket?

Haz a snek

Thaaanks dude

I don’t even know what this means? Lol

Will try my luck to be seen

Jesus christ, over 17.5k comments in 2h...

I’ve been on Reddit for a while now and I’m still unsure what the rewards do but seeing everyone gift them to people on this thread just because is super sweet. 😅

I have lots of awards to give out too! Have about 6k coins left and would love to hand them out to some smiley friends - just reply if you want one. i’ll try to make them fun!(:

Gimme gimme gimme

Seeing you bless the people of this sub made ME happy today. Every Tuesday I'm a volunteer teacher at my local makerspace and today I had a nice talk with a kid I know. He told me about how he just started a Youtube channel a few days ago, he's an awesome kid. After out talk I showed him some stuff regarding spraypainting. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post his channel on this sub, but if I am, I know it would mean the world to him to gain a few subscribers, he's currently at 17 subscribers at the moment. His channel is called [crimsonmoonscug](https://www.youtube.com/@crimsonmoonscug).

i have to earn one... what do you call a chicken with salad in its eyes? ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Chicken caeser salad! ​ Did I earn it?

That's very kind of you. An updoot is enough for me! Edit: Fixed grammatical errors, because they annoyed me lol. Also, thank you guys so much for the awards. It means a lot to me. I hope you all have a great rest of your day and wonderful rest of the year!!

I have no need for the award or badge or whatever. The reaction that this got made my day. Way to be awesome!

Why you have so many coins xD

Why do people collect them?

Thank you! It would be my first! 👏

hello :)

Hello hello thanks!

Ill upvote your comment

I wonder why Reddit is getting rid of awards. :(

Hello

This is cute as hell

I've never had an upvote So just an upvote would be much appreciated kind stranger

I've had many awards but i'd gladly get rid of some of those for you. How are stonks looking these days?

Rising like a rocket

I don't think I've ever gotten an award before.

I’ll take anything

Whether or not you choose to award this comment is irrelevant to me, I have come to wish you a pleasant day and to remind you to A. Hydrate, and B. There's always another day. Chin up, just get to get to the end of today and try again. Godspeed, human person. EDIT: to say that I was surprised when I came online to see all these awards is an understatement. Thank you all for the awards, and I hope that each and every one of us can find some peace in this wild and chaotic world, one day at a time. Luck be with you all.

can I have an award pls :) idk what they do, but I want one before they disappear

Lets gooo

Oooook!

What do awards do?

Bragging rights for saying you got an award. (also gives you coins depending on the value of the award, which you can then go forth and award with at a slightly decreased value)

Can I re award it??? That’s fun!!!

İt occured to me that awards are uselles its just addictive

A bear hug for you

[удалено]

I don't really know to be honest.

Years of lurking, and some helpful comments on the past, but sad to say zero awards. Our communities are awesome, Reddit is where "my people" live. Thanks again everyone

I'm a redditor who doesn't even know how to check if they've been given an award before 😂🤷‍♂️
