I find that whole thing a bit odd considering the "award spam" only got as extreme as it's now when Reddit started handing out temporary free awards to users for them to give away in addition to the occasional gold coins.
Case in point: I never spend money on Reddit yet I have given out a whole bunch of awards.
Organizing this with a bunch of alt accounts should make it trivial to just hand out mass-awards for free.
- stonesweep 6y agoMy take is it applies to a certain personality type (not sure what kind, not my specialty - just see the patterns) - on last year's profile I got some sort of award for just joining a sub or making a comment or some other no-value low-effort action. shrug It maybe ties into whether giving away awards for any reason was part of your school/childhood? Wasn't part of mine so not embedded in my psyche? (just pondering)
