I'm sure a good portion was from actual reddit employees and admins, that way it looks like we're excited about it.

I’ve seen some people mention they have free rewards to give so they’re getting rid of them before their favorite app goes dead on the 30th. It could be that too but most likely it’s fake awards.

Edit: god dammit you guys

I thought everyone had free "money" to spend on gold and sliver. I just have it and always seem to have more and idk why. I've never paid reddit once.

I don't believe you

I don't think I've ever gotten an award though. A d if I have it was only maybe a silver and a gold, max.

Not me. Reddit doesn't deserve the engagement.

I don't think so, people are stupid.

Reddit is 100% known to do that though too. Probably a bit of a mix

Admins did a few to start it off; stupid people did the rest.

I'm so pissed if I stay on this site I'll have to see awards every day. They make my blood boil

u/UrethraFrankIin Jun 10 '23

I'm sure a few are wannabe admins and/or power mods hoping to get some attention for their obsequiousness. The kind of people who report any comments they don't like or even respond about rules and how you're breaking them. Tattletales disgust me.

Agreed, anyone that's worked in retail knows this

a good half of em probably think its hilarious to throw coins at admins

u/Fizzwidgy Jun 09 '23

That's why the employees would give themselves awards, so stupid people would think people are excited and buy some themselves.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '23

Since spez also edited or had comments removed by "the system" im pretty shure that a good portion is from bots or employees.

u/jal2_ The OC High Council Jun 09 '23

they are, but it has to start somewhere...people usually get stupid at herd mentality, i.e. when they see something taking off they join the bandwagon...however if something is not taking off and it wouldnt have had any awards, people probably would give it any, nobody wants to be that idiot that starts things...for sure the start it was admins giving it awards to create traction and make it see important, eventually yes common people will join

Employees get a certain number of coins per month for their account so this wouldn’t surprise me.

source: I rejected an offer from Reddit

u/iHater23 Jun 10 '23

...people there actually like that?

u/Feeling-Finding2783 Jun 10 '23

Clever way to track employees' accounts.

u/electricheat Jun 09 '23

when i checked the majority were negative (stonks crashing, laughing skeleton, facepalm, f for respects, etc), so probably not employees.

u/Swiss-princess Jun 10 '23

You still have to pay for those.

u/CrazyYAY Jun 09 '23

Not everyone care's about Reddit (pretty much) shutting 3rd party apps. Some users just don't care.

P.S. No I'm not one of those users.

u/ninja8ball Jun 10 '23

The kind of people who understand what an API are, are not rewarding that post unless they have a metaphorical employer-held (reddit) gun to their head.

u/NotoriousMFT Jun 10 '23

Have sources at reddit, the staff is absolutely miserable there
