Reddit is getting rid of its Gold awards system
(www.theverge.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Honestly I always felt kinda awkward after getting one, knowing somebody paid real money for a stupid icon. What a waste. Good riddance, I say.
When you buy a subscription to Reddit you get free coins you can use to give out these awards, so at least some of the time the award didn't actually cost anything above what they were already paying for their subscription.
