Just in time for election season. :marseygold:

But yeah from a business perspective it didn't make sense that they went away. They've got to think about earnings now.

Reported by:

Why did they even take it away?

I think they found the award system overbloated after they started giving everyone daily awards. They tried to pivot to some golden upvote feature that just didn't even show up on old.reddit.com at all and it wasn't even really clear how to use it on the app.

This new system isn't on old.reddit.com either.

From a codecel perspective the old system was a disaster. Whoever designed it should have been shot.

It was giving reddit premium to the recipients. The problem is that the people getting it are power users that would actually pay for reddit premium so it was directly competing with their other revenue source.

I wouldn't be surprised (I'm not reading the article) of they removed free reddit premium from gold and the delay was just so they could frame it as "gold coming back" instead of "gold getting nerfed"

You're right :marseysoren: about reddit :marseyplacenofun: gold being a dumb idea.

I think :marseyoscargamble: it's funny :marseylaughpoundfist: they never :marseyitsover: tried anything :marseycoleporter: else tho lmao. It's interesting :marseylaying: how little :marseyelliotrodger2: gamification these social :marseyredcheck: media :marseyjourno: companies build :marseyikea: into their apps. Seems like an easy way to farm money :marseybribe: from their users.

They replaced it with some system where "high quality posters" would be rewarded with cold hard cash :pepemoney:

If you can make sense of not taking free money for literally nothing in return, then here's their reasoning.

We mentioned early this year that we want to both make Reddit simpler and a place where the community empowers the community more directly.

With simplification in mind, we're moving away from the 50+ awards available today. Though the breadth of awards have had mixed reception, we've also seen them - be it a local subreddit meme or the “Press F” award - be embraced. And we know that many redditors want to be able to recognize high quality content.

Which is why rewarding good content will still be part of Reddit. Though we'd love to reveal more to you all now, we're in the process of early testing and feedback, so aren't ready to share official details just yet. Stay tuned for future posts on this!

No, this experience won't be available on old reddit.

On one hand, paid upvotes were always bullshit.

On the other,
