    Gold originally was fine imo. Then it got out of control with so many different medals, some free, some cheap, etc. They made it so confusing and basically every post on the front page had some sort of award. They made it confusing and cluttered… At least they realized it was dumb.

      I used RIF for 11 years. First I’m hearing about awards. Only ever knew about gold… thought Reddit silver was a cutesy little joke for redditors.

        I remember at one point, Talklittle mentioned the addition of rewards, and how he was against them, which was convenient since Reddit didn’t give third party apps access to them in the first place. I know at one point I was able to buy gold in RiF, but that was gone the moment that Reddit introduced all the other bullshit rewards.
