No more awards and such, I guess. It will be terminated in September. I came across some screenshots of people attempting to get a refund, explaining that they had purchased so many Reddit coins that they couldn’t distribute them before the shutdown. Meanwhile, here I am, observing individuals who possess more wealth in Reddit coins (which hold no real-life value) than I have to buy food for a year. We truly live in a strange world. I don’t know why they decided to get rid of it, but it does seem odd, especially considering there are people who even “whale” within the Reddit community.
They are hemorrhaging users and replacing the missing activity with bots, but the new bots don’t buy gold, so rather than show a month-over-month loss in that revenue stream in their IPO docs, they just cancelled reddit gold.

Earning money for digital worthless stuff is not profitable
They also deleted all chat logs prior to this year.
