Just fyi to prevent misinformation, reddit disabled buying coins when they announced it was being removed. So all these points are leftovers

The issue is, most of the people left on reddit are damn near addicts. Or those who weren't directly affected by the api and therefor don't care and just jump on the fuck spez cause hating ceos is cool*.

(CEOs should be hated on don't get me wrong, but for actual reasons and be held to that hate, not just hating for a trend)

Lots of them are likely leftover points due to the deprecation of awards.

I never understood why people spend money on reddit. It's fucking stupid.

on top of that, Reddit rewards are disappearing soon so they are literally throwing money into a fire

It was always that kind - I also don't get why people are spending money on e.g. bits at twitch. It's the same kind of stupid. Just give the people you like money with paypal. It's easier and they get nearly 100% of it.

Why is it being deprecated? I thought it's a major income for them.

Because Huffman and Musk are apparently (no, I'm not making this up) good buddies who share tips on how to run social media companies.

Upvotes have nothing to do with SEO

Believe it or not, this used to actually work for SEO manipulation before Google got wise

I remember the good old days when reddit managed to make a swastika one of the top google image results for EA Games or something, maybe Comcast.

And they misspelled CEO. Fucking achievement right there.
