Wasn’t that whole the concept behind that reddit gold exclusive subreddit? I’ve never been on there but I heard it was pretty barren anyway.

I was gifted gold once. The subreddit was mostly Austin Powers Goldmember memes at the time.

That sounds like the only acceptable use of that sub to me.

I'm sorry? I don't speak freaky-deeky Dutch

There are two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch.

I bought Gold when that was the only perk to it, back when they were supposedly trying to independently fund the site.

I deeply regret doing so at this point.

You shouldn't. Reddit was a different place then.

You supported it when it was good, and abandoned it after it sold out. You can be a little proud of that.

The Lounge is where you were given access. That subreddit was ok on its own but really it was a good place to hang out, be friendly and helpful which sometimes resulted in being invited to other private sections of Reddit.

Some of those private subs have a true sense of community who are truly kind, respect each other and fun to interact with. Before the awards went away there were many games with prizes and multi-day parties with lots of engagement and fun. Not anything like the regular Reddit.

Those places still exist but activity has declined since most third party apps and the awards/coin system were taken away. That decision not only damaged the public Reddit subs but also the private ones.

It was a "I got gold" circle jerk.
