Reddit enrages users again by ditching thank-you coins and awards
(www.businessinsider.com)
This reminds me of the youtube dislike button thing. When a popular majority opinion pops up against the rich, it usually brings lots of gold and platinum awards which drives engagement and visibility. It is not very advertiser/owner class friendly and gives too much power to the masses.
Any new system they create, if any, will not allow this kind of behavior.
Apparently, Reddit didn’t learn anything from Digg
If I still used Reddit, this would be an awesome change. People who gave awards were fucking losers lol.
how worse can reddit get at this point
