    Not sure what from

    When other people give big awards to your posts/comments, you actually get some coins as well.

      Huh, interesting. There were a few times it said I was gifted premium, but I never did anything with it. Well, doesn’t matter now, I guess.

      You know, the thing that strikes me as particularly odd is that apparently they’re going to retroactively delete the existing awards. I’d imagine there are some people who feel tied to their Reddit accounts because the awards and karma were important to them, so stripping anything like that away seems like it would make those people feel less attached to Reddit and more likely to move on. They really seem to be scuttling the site.

        Not only that, but they’ll probably be angry on reddit as well.

        He’s literally just doing whatever Musk tells him to. Get rid of all the people who cared about the site, then you can advertise your site as a walled garden for bigots and terrorists
