      I mean let’s be honest, coins and awards were literally just a means to siphon cash out of their userbase willing to spend money on the platform. Their status in the community is rather mixed with some enjoying the flair of them and others seeing them as little more than microtransations for people with more money than common sense.

      Their removal just means less revenue for Reddit, which probably isn’t a bright idea at the moment.

        I’d be pissed if I didn’t leave
