    While I appreciate Spez being burned at the stake, why are there so many fucking awards on things. People know that those directly contribute to Reddits revenue right?

      There is a relatively large probably of many awards being from reddit themselves (they can literally edit comments of everyone, change the score and definitely can add awards)

      But some are definitely from idiots that bought them with money.

      I’m sure there are some people purchasing those, but you also get some for free. Looks like I have 800 worth I could give out.

          Sometimes you get coin gifts if your posts go viral but yes the free awards have been gone for more than a year at this point. Its possible that many users have them saved up from the past.
