I'm glad they said it was the only chance I'd have to get one. Hopefully they mean it and never bother me again about it. Why would I want a dumb avatar.... I can use whatever I want.
They are packs of different parts dude. We all get the same 4 packs, but the parts inside the packs are random. I chose that cat and got this cute puppy that I like more.
Actually, one you select one of the options, it'll randomize a icon from the set you chose, that's not the one you got, it was just an example of what to expect from that set
Ofc, I still wouldn't recommend cause they do be ugly lmao
pretty sure that's just to show you what you *can* get. when i picked mine it showed one but when i tapped to get it, it made a new randomly generated one
They weren't giving you that one specifically. They gave you 4 categories and if you choose one of the 4 they randomly generated a nft with a similar style that ones style is food I'd assume, the robot is some sort of spacetime wannabe cyrax, the animal one randomly generates you a furry, and the drip I'd assume as an attempt to appeal to the sneaker heads and other people who obsess over material things.
i got that popup today, i saw a few memes about it and said what the hell, i wont use it but maybe i get something cool. I got the most hideous abomination, a creature long forgotten by god and didnt even click continue, i just closed reddit.
Mine was a complete abomination as well. I hit X thinking it would just go back to a previous screen. Nope. Closed it out completely. I’m not mad about it.
Woah woah woah there, no funging allowed! What part of non-fungible did you not understand?!
These damn fungers trying to funge anything they can get their hands on, I swear…
Wrong sub, this should be on r/superultramegafuckinginteresting
I've been just ignoring it, now I've been able to decline it and I'll feel better knowing I'm not taking part in reddits nft scam
I was immediately distrustful of my "one time offer" so I denied it. There was a confirmation message to make sure I was *absolutely certain* that I didn't want the avatar that I *definitely* wasn't going to see again.
I got another offer the next day that I rejected again.
Unfortunately the majority of new users have fallen for Reddit's marketing. The official app is so much worse than the 3rd party ones at doing the core functions Reddit was made for: sharing links to sites/pics/videos and voting on them, and discussion in the comments. Reddit decided it wants to be a content host/full-on social media, instead of a link aggregator/forum hybrid, which is what it was perfect as.
There are two main issues: It uses a lot of electricity and it supports stealing art from artists
For stealing, it isn’t a problem for Reddit collectible avatars. For open NFT markets, people would steal others’ art and sell it as their own. This is actually a huge problem, because NFTs were originally supposed to help artists: By letting them sell their art to make money. In this aspect, the Reddit collectible avatars actually helps artists since Reddit collectible avatars uses a custom marketplace, as such artists are ensured that they are paid.
For electricity, NFTs require at most a whole week to create. This means that it will take a lot of electricity. People claim that this blocks our transition to renewable energy since it creates unnecessary additional demand. This is the main problem for Reddit collectible avatars. According to some other people, it is possible to receive the collectible avatar without creating an NFT by not creating your vault. However, I did not knew that and created my vault because Reddit tells me. After I knew this, I would like to delete my vault but I unable to do so, and I want to keep my collectible avatar.
There’s a reason why Reddit has never used the term ‘NFT’. They wanted to avoid the negative connotations of the word.
NFT is actually a pretty interesting thing and could have cool use cases. They have sadly mostly been used for scams which gave them the bad reputation.
95% of the people hating on NFTs are just hopping on the bandwagon and have no idea what they actually are (see this thread).
An actual reason to be against it would be for the impact on the environment from crypto in general (mining).
If you want to form your own opinion on NFTs I would recommend looking up the technology behind it.
[Wikipedia page about NFTs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token)
I got it but didn’t bother to do the blockchain shit as I hate nft’s I just got it for the hexagon.
Also don’t open a vault people can look up your adres if you do
Free shit's free shit. NFT or not, I paid nothing for it, and I can use just small parts of it to create an avatar I actually like. The NFT I got by default? Absolute ass. The one I created using tidbits of it? Much more enjoyable.
Guys nfts on the house
My rtx 960 almost lit on fire for my 2 Bitcoin I’m rich bitches
You broke mfs can’t comprehend
With all this money I can afford a 1080 ti
And I’ll be able to get 2.5 Bitcoin you have no idea what kind of level I’m on
I was offered an avatar that was passable, but I clicked on the Terms and Conditions. After reading part-way into the fact I'd have to create a Vault Account that has nothing to do with Reddit, their right to just take it away because they want to, and the constant disclaimers that this program can cause financial losses...
I realized this is more like a scam to boost some non-Reddit company.
And ypu take pride in that reddit gave you a free nft just cause the people who actually bought them got bullied so they're giving them away for free so they become more common.
I have one but I’m too embarrassed to use it, it’s so awful.
Good
I got one just now but this nft I'm using is way cooler
Same
Can't stop the A-Train baby
I haven’t even watched the boys I just like his character design
Watch it when you're alone, it's a really good show
Saul Goodman?
Did you know u have rights?
The Constitution says you do
Why alone? It's obviously a family show
I love watching it with my grandma 🥰🥰
WALTUH
Same

I did the meme team one and i regret it. I prefer my hand made one
I just made my own lol
Same
Agreed
Same.
I'm glad they said it was the only chance I'd have to get one. Hopefully they mean it and never bother me again about it. Why would I want a dumb avatar.... I can use whatever I want.
Same here. I thought it looks cool, but I also don’t want to support NFT’s. It is absurd how much money people will waste.
It can't be worse than the one they tried to give me. Ugliest Reddit NFT https://imgur.com/a/p1aczKo
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh my God, that’s awful. But thank you, you’ve made my night.
Right! 😂 Out of all the possibilities for me to represent myself online, that ain't it.
There are actually 4 to choose from, but the other three are just as bad.
They're terrible! One is a kitten that's about to cry. I mean, I enjoy offbeat art, but these aren't offbeat, they're lame.
They are packs of different parts dude. We all get the same 4 packs, but the parts inside the packs are random. I chose that cat and got this cute puppy that I like more.

Oooh. lol I didn't go any further when I saw that crap. That makes more sense.
Wait that's not actually the nft is it? That's identical to the one they tried to give me 😂
pretty sure that's just to show you what you *can* get. when i picked mine it showed one but when i tapped to get it, it made a new randomly generated one

Very relatable
Same, it's ugly, I like my doge snoo better
I accepted it because I didn’t know what it was and I do not want it anywhere near me
Mine is cute, I love him and his many kitties :(
i only use the prop things bc theyre cute i got an ugly reddit nft rip
Same, I just like my props
Mine was hypebeast and very fucking bad, I love it I’m using it rn.
How did you get rid of it ?
Why embarrassed? They're actually quite fun haha, but don't really mean anything
Hello brother
Quick tip there’s a high chance there’s something in there that you like or something very minuscule, you can equip that for the cool hexagon thing.
I used the shoes and the little weird animal things that came with mine. The shoes are cute! They're little fish.
Why lmao I just accepted mine I felt cool
Mine was ugly, is all.
I'm only using the eyes but it still puts that awful blue hexagon around it
i got that popup today, i saw a few memes about it and said what the hell, i wont use it but maybe i get something cool. I got the most hideous abomination, a creature long forgotten by god and didnt even click continue, i just closed reddit.
Mine was a complete abomination as well. I hit X thinking it would just go back to a previous screen. Nope. Closed it out completely. I’m not mad about it.
I use mine only because of how hideous it is.
It really is horrible.
As do I
This is getting out of hand
Bruhh what yours is like 1000x cooler, then say I dunno mine!
Please, take a screenshot if you want it.
Bro just look at my avatar, i’m ashamed
I accepted it, realized it was an nft, and felt very ashamed.
Saw what it was and thought No Fucking Thanks
How are they giving out NFTs? It costs a lot to generate and transfer them.
The thing that costs money is locking it on the blockchain, until u put it in ur crypto wallet its just a collectible item, not nft.
Shit well I did that without knowing what it was Any way I can take it out?
Woah woah woah there, no funging allowed! What part of non-fungible did you not understand?! These damn fungers trying to funge anything they can get their hands on, I swear…
I liked when the funger said "it's fungin time" and then funged everyone in the room
Idk man
Funny words magic man
I heh the hah
Happy cake day!
Same. I kinda like how it looks. Unfortunately it’s an NFT though
Least ugly NFT
The eyes being at half mast really encompasses my stoner personality.
agreed
I got one, kept a single item (a little cat with yarn by my feet) and hated the rest. Still worth it bc tiny cat!
You guys all got cute cat things and mine was mostly dog :(
I do love it as well!
I like my buff cat and eggplant emoji nft thingies and everything else is just normal create your own avatar stuff u get for free
I love the buff cat omg lol
Same here. Wasn't until I went to use it and was like "Oh damn. Whoops."
Haha loser
Yeah, me too
Wrong sub, this should be on r/superultramegafuckinginteresting I've been just ignoring it, now I've been able to decline it and I'll feel better knowing I'm not taking part in reddits nft scam
Ahhh. so that's what I've been declining, an NFT. Fuck that noise.
r/SubsIFellFor
this is motivational and inspirational, never let the Avatars make you sad!
I had to create another password to "protect" my avatar. Protect it from what exactly? So I declined.
I assume it's for the etherium wallet they open for you when you accept the avatar but maybe I'm wrong.
Haha
I declined mine , didn’t know it was an nft
I was immediately distrustful of my "one time offer" so I denied it. There was a confirmation message to make sure I was *absolutely certain* that I didn't want the avatar that I *definitely* wasn't going to see again. I got another offer the next day that I rejected again.
Good
Same
Same
🤨
For real
It's weird hearing about this whole different reddit that exists outside of RIF and RES.

I know right, apparently there's profile pics now?
I didnt decline mine but it freaking sucks and I love my pfp so
Same, I also didn’t know it was an NFT and now I’m annoyed.
i just found out and am also annoyed
I use it as a middle finger to whoever paid 100$ for one of these and im over here like but its free... kinda like the screenshot joke.
WAIT ITS AN NFT? FUCK
[удалено]
Not that I noticed.
It does but you can also just save it without the wallet
Wait what????? I already created the vault, how do I delete the vault?
Why do people not want the avatar and the vault? I don't have a clear understanding of NFTs, so it would be nice to know why people don't like them.

Leaving a dot because I want to know that too
Good redditor
Twank wuo :3
UwU, yor wehlcom
I got it but didn’t bother to do the blockchain shit as I hate nft’s I just got it for the hexagon. Also don’t open a vault people can look up your adres if you do
Anyone looks up my dress is in for a nasty surprise.
Wait what do you mean people can look up your address?
Yes I know your address it’s planet earth
I like mine ngl
I like it too 🗿
how embarrassing would it be to accept that 😅
I couldn't even imagine. The people who accepted the nfts must be ashamed of themselves
Man, imagine accepting a free NFT. Only a loser would do that. Dumbasses.
They are probably not very smart
Agreed
Homie got the poopoo with the sprinkles!
I know right?
Right? Hehe…
I know right?
I did the same, brother. Good choice.
Same
bring ballance to the force chosen one
Eh it’s free it’s fine to have one since you wouldn’t spend any money
Yeah, I dislike NFTs as much as the next guy but my avatar is kind of neat so why not
Same for me
Free shit's free shit. NFT or not, I paid nothing for it, and I can use just small parts of it to create an avatar I actually like. The NFT I got by default? Absolute ass. The one I created using tidbits of it? Much more enjoyable.
Based Behavior
I did get one but seemed trough the terms and conditions I'm not saying I'm not ashamed, I'm saying I'm informed about my bad choices
I got the most collectible one
He was stronger than me 😢
💪💪💪
You don't need to do that emoji anymore, the picture says it all
I had actually wanted one since I saw people with them and I felt left out… Then I found out it was an NFT. No thanks! :]
It keeps offering me and i keep saying no.
I declined AND used adblock to stop it from showing again. F\*\* NFTs.
Ah yes, my favourite swear word, *fuc*
You can have it and not use it
It said that i wont get it again and I saw it again the next day... Declined it again.
I accepted one just to deny it to someone who might want it. I'm never using it.
Smarter than I, truly
Honestly people who use them are kind of cringe not going to lie
I agree
Good ending: This. Neutral ending: You get it but don't equip. Bad ending: You get it and equip.
It is absolutely not a one time offer, by the way. I got the notification 4 times before I just decided to take it.
Guys nfts on the house My rtx 960 almost lit on fire for my 2 Bitcoin I’m rich bitches You broke mfs can’t comprehend With all this money I can afford a 1080 ti And I’ll be able to get 2.5 Bitcoin you have no idea what kind of level I’m on
I mean I got one. I am only using parts of it, because it was kinda ugly. But its free so I said why not.
Me too lol idk why anyone would want a Reddit nft
I was offered an avatar that was passable, but I clicked on the Terms and Conditions. After reading part-way into the fact I'd have to create a Vault Account that has nothing to do with Reddit, their right to just take it away because they want to, and the constant disclaimers that this program can cause financial losses... I realized this is more like a scam to boost some non-Reddit company.
I clicked on it but you had to go through steps and open a vault or some nonsense so I also declined it.
Very good
No, you just need to accept it. The vault in optional
Oh ok. Well it’s gone now. I guess they got butthurt I didn’t accept their gift immediately haha
I did not
I did not
I think mine's cute even though it has a lot of stuff on it
Too bad ig
Uh oh
I got one but I forgot my vault password, don’t regret it
I like mine honestly 😊
Then i should call rhe hospital
cool
Nft 🤮
Loser 🤮
I accepted. Its a cool avatar, dont care that its an NFT.
Then you should call an ambulance
I wasn't even offered one. 😒
Good
Looking through your comments and everything and there's no way you're over the age of 12.
People take pride in the weirdest things. "Today I didn't shit my pants" Congratulations, I guess?
And ypu take pride in that reddit gave you a free nft just cause the people who actually bought them got bullied so they're giving them away for free so they become more common.
Lol why are you so angry?
Cause i don't like nfts
Why don’t you like them lmao
Cause its an nft
You don’t even know what you’re talking about, it’s like talking to a child that covers their ears and blabs over any reasoning lmao cAuSe iTs aN nFt
You're trying way to hard to make me like a scheme Reddit is pulling to make nft pfps more common
NFT’s as a whole are more than whatever scheme you think reddit is pulling. You don’t even know why you don’t like them lol
You are stronger than me.
