The awards on this are horribly tone-deaf. Yes, pay the man for fucking you over. I can't believe abstracting payment with goofy little icons makes people so willing to fork over their cash even in situations like this.

- BitwiseFool 3y agoRedditors often use the awards as a way to send a message that stands out from a regular replies. Reddit also gives away freebie points on occasion in order to entice users into getting into the habit of awarding posts. So it's possible a lot of those rewards are disgruntled redditors using their free rewards to send him a message.
- d1str0 3y agoAs bitwisefool mentioned, anecdotally, a lot of those awards are using free coins or whatever, not from people actually paying money to give them out.
- blowski 3y agoYou get them free with Reddit Premium which does have other (dubious) benefits.
- ezekg 3y agoI feel like, in general, awards signal astroturfing. I wouldn't put it past Reddit to astroturf their own AMA.
