Can someone explain to me why them removing these awards is pissing people off? I used reddit everyday for 13 years until all this shit went down. Never once cared about gold or whatever. Why does it disappearing matter to people? Just because they like to flex having it?
Because they are going to create a coin linked with crypto, which is going to give money to people for using Reddit. I like that to be honest. The problem is that Reddit has never figured out how to tell if someone is a bot or not. If bots were bad before, they’ll totally dominate Reddit now. So Reddit will probably release a way to verify you’re human, which ties you to your identity, or to captcha the hell out of posting.
Anyways, for people thinking Reddit doesn’t already know who you are, I invite you to read about online fingerprinting. It’s almost impossible not to giveaway your identity nowadays. You’d have to follow guidelines that would make browsing pretty awful.
