Many people buy Reddit Premium to get rid of ads. Each month also grants you 700 coins, which is enough to award a gold and two silvers. Receiving a gold gives you enough coins to give a silver (I think, I don't remember the exact ratio). That is where a ton of awards come from.
Employees do get free gold to hand out, but the ratio isn't as high as you'd think.
