This was such a confusing feature to me. I just looked and my Reddit account is 13 years old, and I've also never bought any of these "rewards" because they seem so empty and useless. The person you're giving it to gets nothing other than some images above their post, so I _know_ that if I spend the money on one it's basically just a donation to Reddit which I'm not keen to do if I get nothing out of it. They also have their "premium" subscription which seems even more useless. Now, if they had implemented it in a way similar to how Brave did their rewards where people would get some share of the reward (say, 5% of the money?) then I would be way more likely to buy it and would probably also participate a lot more. Imagine if some people could make a living off of Reddit the same way they do off of YouTube or Twitch!
