Reddit could be working on a Contributor program, letting top contributors earn real-world money from the gold and karma they receive.

The real story is they're getting rid of coins and awards. It's confirmed by a reddit admin, whereas the cash for karma thing is speculation.

So killing a feature before any replacement is ready; cool. I'm sure those who pay for premium and will stop receiving a stock of coins will see a commensurate price reduction. Right?

I stopped my premium membership, but I've still got 35800 coins. I don't know what I'll do with them.

Don’t give more rewards, they will just flush them down the toilet in September.
