Reddit may be tricking users to buy awards/coins (kbin.social)

Recently, Reddit announced that they may be discontinuing awards/coins on September 12. However I'm skeptical and I think this may be just a deceptive announcement for them to make a quick buck from awards/coins. What are your opinions on this?

Just looks like reddit shot themselves in the right foot, then tried to fix it by shooting themselves in the left foot.

Oh, I don't know if you've heard the rumors that they may be planning to move to an irl cash system to reward high karma earners, but the genitals are next.

They fixed the problem of shooting their feet by amputating both legs.

Not a rumor, just they announced it. Cash for high profile posts. Kinda like Elon paying all that cash to human rights trafficker, rapist, and all around disgusting human Andrew Tate, for bringing in advertising revenue one day before announcing that they have lost over 50% of advertisers on their platform.

And then saying advertisers are coming back, which is probably a flat face lie once AdAge confirms it.
