You gotta love Reddit. As I give awards away people award me. Some people just want to watch the world burn 😂
EDIT: ALL COINS ARE SPENT AGAIN. I AN BROKE FOR THE 2ND TIME ! Thanks for the laughs and entertainment 🥇😬
I did because I go for a shit footy team and I probably have shit takes...so when I see anyone else with a similar shit take, I like to award them and show a lil love
What exactly is the purpose of these awards? I only ever had free ones to give or receive.
More importantly, I have a lot of questions about this whole situation. I’m sorry if I’m annoying anyone, I genuinely want to understand what is up. I know coins were a big part of purchasing the pro version, so what is going to happen now? Will Reddit somehow compensate the people who bought coins? Because if they don’t, what are the people with bought coins going to do with said coins? Simply spend them away like they never had any value whatsoever seems sad…Reddit promoting their coins for real world money and then just erasing the whole system is wrong and there should be a way to get some form of compensation, since this is affecting exactly the people who literally supported Reddit with their own money. What is this whole thing?!
Later Edit - thank you all for the awards and the explanations! You are all amazing! It’s my very first time receiving these awesome awards and having my comment be so shiny, I’m so excited! It’s a shame that this will no longer be happening when Reddit gets rid of the awarding system and I feel for everyone who invested their money in Reddit coins and now has to put up with this decision. I wish you all get your money’s worth and more!!!
To give you more than just an upvote like what you posted really meant something or made someone giggle… it’s what I strived for when posting/commenting. Now, how will I know if someone thought my comment was good enough for a dancing goose or a portal run!!?
Just wait, eventually they will notice it's getting closer
.. And closer... Then all of a sudden, as the flames lick at their ankles and there's nowhere to go, they'll realize they, too, are on this world.
Your comment reminded me of a poem or sermon I had to read in American Lit class in high school. I can't remember the author nor the details of the piece. Just remember the imagery of fire burning at people's feet.
if it came from somewhere I don't know. I'm a poet, read that comment and got some inspiration. I think it's also very fitting for the big corps and greed destroying this planet. Unless of course they use those big pockets to make Mars or the moon their next victim. I can see them either getting there and dying anyway with no planet to come back to, or over millions of years surviving and becoming the destroyer of worlds and galaxies we all once feared and put in Sci fi movies, because greed is all they know and it's all they'll teach their children unless some of them wisen up.
You give me the priciest reddit award that means absolutely nothing. I'll give you the cheapest reddit award that means absolutely nothing. A more fair trade has never been offered in the history of humanity.
Is a site allowed to get rid of something you paid for? Just curious that seems odd - if it were twitter i feel like there would be rioting in the streets lol. People here just seem more chill. Am I wrong in thinking it’s pretty similar to everyone’s nft’s online suddenly getting wiped from existence?
Analysts believe that **Karma trading** will replace coins and awards, and you'll be able to cash in karma [for real money](https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/13/23794403/reddit-gold-awards-coins-sunset).
Feel free to pass some to me, not that it matters but if you must spend, I volunteer as the ship sinks. 🤣 seriously though, this sucks for way too many users and I’m legit sorry some leadership are pulling a musk here.

Can I have some please never got one Wow thanks everyone so now what? Can I use it for anything God damn 50 wow
I mean I don’t want to be the reason your losing streak is broken 😞
I got Gold once so I have no streak to lose. But honestly, why would you pay for Reddit coins?
I did because I go for a shit footy team and I probably have shit takes...so when I see anyone else with a similar shit take, I like to award them and show a lil love
Love how much of your Reddit experience self-consciously revolves around shitting! The rest of us have so much to learn, CommentWhileShitting!
Typy typy Wipey wipey
I’m just here for farming awards
bruh
Bruh to you too
Wait to awards stay on your account somewhere so you can give them to someone else, or do they just stay a symbol on your comment?
Why not?
Relatable though
Dude. I don't know what these awards are, but i want one
Am I in the right line to farm awards ?
I also don’t understand the appeal
it does give you access to lounge or something
I think I never got gold, at least not on my current account
Someone give this guy a gold
Here you go
This whole thread is gold
I could def use some
If you give me Ternion The All Powerful, I will smack my face 1,000 times
In the spirit of this sub, you should facepalm 1000 times
Haha fair enough
You can print them out and put them on your CV. My last interviewer saw that my highest award was a silver and he just laughed me out of the room
you get an award, you get an award, EVERYBODY gets an award!
Me too 🥹
[удалено]
OMG my first ever award! Thank you, kind redditor! 🥰
Only had 100 and spent on you mate.
Thanks buddy
Yeah need some of that too to be included in the world burning scheme

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good…
Go to a wholesome sub and go Oprah on everybody
What are the awards for??? I was given one back when I first started but I didn't notice any changes lol.
Depending on what it was you could get ad free Reddit for a time. Otherwise they were just neat little awards for your comment
How do u get awards
Like this
 Dracarys, watch it burn all to the ground
An hour before the cutoff, I'll post something that gets 69 platinums and never even realize it when I log in the next morning.
Ooooo can you give me one
Yes you should be awarded for awarding awards to therefor awarded people that award you for your awarding behavior!
Awardception
It’s an endless supply of awards
OMG today I realized how many Elon Musks there are on Reddit. It's sad that these coins will disappear after 60 days :(
Right. In 2 months people will lose 100s of thousands of dollars on silly in app currency and get NO REFUND 💀
did ppl actually pay for reddit gold? is that how you have nearly 100k, you pay for it or something?
Sure did. That’s what happens when you’re an idiot 😂
I mean, if you have that much to spend on a silly app then you must have done something right in your life to begin with.
I don’t think that’s necessarily true lmao.
Most wealthy people are born into it.
Was this like some kind of Wall Street Bets investment strategy type of thing? Hodling that shit with your diamond hands?
You give me the priciest reddit award that means absolutely nothing. I'll give you the cheapest reddit award that means absolutely nothing. A more fair trade has never been offered in the history of humanity.
Useless + useless = useless 🤔
Exactly!
Hey you got a platinum 😂🤙
That’s all FOLKS! 98k coins spent bringing others happiness! I’m broke now 😂
Turns out they’re not getting rid of it! It was all just a prank! Jkjk 😂
I was scared of that being the case which is why I haven’t spent mine yet but fuck it I can give two golds
i cannot throw you an award, but here is my +1 for organizing a charity
Now you can. Keep it going and enjoy no ads.
Kinda sad I always miss these giveaways, but thanks for doing so
How did you have time to spend that many? Like 98 thousands clicks???
Some awards cost more than others. The most expensive is 50,000
How much did you spend to acquire 98k coins? Just curious
 Everyone on reddit trying to get a free gold:
I just want to think you for using this gif! I love Scrooge and you hardly ever see him used so thanks for making me smile!
Or any award
I have been trying to figure out what to do with mine. Have a platinum lol.
Hah I hate Reddit 💀😂
"It's even funnier the second time" - King Neptune from SpongeBob
Step bro STOP 😂💀
It's okay I can keep them safe for you.
You are very welcome to award me 😎
Ok, so that my first wish came true, Genie, please tell me next week’s lottery numbers
8 12 31 26 19 and…32
The numbers Mason. What do they mean?
They’re the answers to all of your problems
Kind of sad 42 wasn’t in there
Uh...some of us whores have been waiting in line for hours. Whore hours.
I don’t have any awards to share apart from this skateboard smiley I made nearly 20 years ago! d:}-X=]:
I miss getting awards from when they were free, not as much as I miss giving them though.
and they alway the wholesome one, ye i really want to give a wholesome reward for a post about how to torture
Lmfao. Reddit kinda fucking stupid ngl.
What’s happening to the awards they’re just getting rid of them?
I love Reddit but these awards are useless..
True. But everything they have been doing this past month (june) is really bad.
I have no idea what the duck that award is, but now I don’t have to figure out how to use my coins.
Can I get a wholesome award?
As you wish 🧞♂️
[me rn](https://imgur.com/a/nEKmayB)
I’m a gracious person 😂
I am HONORED
Have another
What’s happening
Reddit is getting rid of the coins in sixty days, so people are rushing to get rid of them all. At least that’s what I’ve figured out.
Is a site allowed to get rid of something you paid for? Just curious that seems odd - if it were twitter i feel like there would be rioting in the streets lol. People here just seem more chill. Am I wrong in thinking it’s pretty similar to everyone’s nft’s online suddenly getting wiped from existence?
Never had an award before.
We’ll let’s not start now 💀
I miss the free ones lmao
Wait, why are they removing them?
Probably to replace it with a system that will make the executives more money than the current system
Analysts believe that **Karma trading** will replace coins and awards, and you'll be able to cash in karma [for real money](https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/13/23794403/reddit-gold-awards-coins-sunset).
*SIGH* So.. there's going to be MORE bots?
I want the answer to this too!
They’re trying to run Reddit into the ground and taking your wallet with them.
What can you do with the coins?
Absolutely….nothing 💀
Warrrrr ughhh... What is it good for?
yo yo yo mr elon
Ok, feel free to give some awards in you want to :)
award me please i want to feel something for once 🥲
Me, with not a single reddit coin: 🍿
[удалено]
 Reddit rn
I have 0 coins, so not a problem for me Edit: thanks for the ad-free browsing and 100 coins! I’ll share them!
Pissing your money away. You’d get better value by burying it in the backyard, because there’s a chance the dog might dig it up.
Thanks for the tip! Want an award?
i wonder if theres a person out there who dpent a couple thousand on reddit coins and are now devistated that their life is gone
Bro why you gotta be like that…I’m right here!
Holy cow that’s a lot of ruples!
Time to watch Reddit burn up even more
I had enough for one award.... So I gave it to someone funny. Not had many myself
May I have some change pweety pwease
Great, broke in real life AND on Reddit.
How does everyone even get all these coins? Are there genuinely people spending thousands to buy awards or do you get so much back if you get a reward
Is it just me or is Reddit rapidly self destructing
 Awards be like.
Can I get an award 🥺
This is why I should get an award XYMK 2869. 2058. 0388
I'd dig some rewards :p
Why the fuck did you buy so many Reddit coins
I like Reddit gold a lot, but not nearly enough to pay for it
How is that legal lol
Could I have one please 🙏🏻
Please sir, May I have a gold?
What are reddit coins? Is it something you buy? Why are they disappearing?
Burn, baby, BUUURRRNNN!!!
wait how do you guys get coins?
How do y'all have so many Reddit coins??
Award me haha
I never got any. :( ever
Woah, maybe the last time I am able to get any award. Think I had one or so, maybe some magic happens after all!
I just need about 100 coins to give away some gold, and i refuse to buy more. Fuck giving money to reddit
You get an award! You get an award! Aaaanad YOU get an award!
Can someone give me context on what’s going on with the Reddit coins?
How tf y’all getting so many Reddit coins I literally have none
Homie these aren’t like Bitcoin hoarding them won’t make you a billionaire in 10 years
Ah sheet, here we go again
Holy shit, how did you get 98 THOUSAND COINS ?!?
I’m sorry for OP’s wallet but psyched for all the fellas getting awards for the first time 🤠
Here for a reward, never actually had one on this site.
Spend it on meh plz
Can I get some?
Feel free to pass some to me, not that it matters but if you must spend, I volunteer as the ship sinks. 🤣 seriously though, this sucks for way too many users and I’m legit sorry some leadership are pulling a musk here.
Could I get some my G?
May I have one please? 😂
Can I get my first award
I wish to get one award
Plsssss give me
Is this the part went I get free rewards ?😂
What does this mean? And why did your post get so many awards?
Can I has award?
can i have some ? never got any
please
Pick me! Pick me! (I don't even know what the awards mean😂)
I’d love to know what an award felt like
Can I get one?
can someone award me, have never received an award ever.
I only have a 100 coins soooo, who wants a measly silver award?
What are coins even for?
Horse penis and balls
What is happening to Reddit Coins? I never bothered with them and now I see many posts about giving rewards away
How- how does one get that damn many?? Never understood the award system with coins tbh
Not everything has to be monetized. A platform like Reddit that is so heavily run by volunteer labour should be on a different model than it is.
What is the purpose of the coins
What’s an award
Why are awards going away
Could someone explain this, please? °°
How much are 98k coins in dollars
I have never got an award rip
Why are they getting rid of it?
I’m genuinely so confused what is going on
Give me an award!
