You mean the paid awards in September they just got rid of because Fuck Users?
Paid awards were always bullshit also
How so?
How are they NOT?! Paying Reddit money to have someone go EDIT THANKS 4 DA AWARD KIND STRANGER is stupid, and it caused every thread to be clogged with asinine comments like “I WISH I CUD GIV U A WARD!”
I don’t know if you were there before gold existed, but it was a lot more like… Lemmy. None of that twaddle.
I think you're overstating the significance of those edits and comments.
You’re underestimating my annoyance at all of that garbage hahaha
Anyway, it was a bad place. I've seen it being interesting somewhere in 2019, after that always worse and worse.
Fuck users or not, not sure whether they could really control that descent, even if they tried.
