    Can someone explain to me why them removing these awards is pissing people off? I used reddit everyday for 13 years until all this shit went down. Never once cared about gold or whatever. Why does it disappearing matter to people? Just because they like to flex having it?

      It‘s pissing me off, because Reddit invests more time into removing features, instead of adding new, highly requested ones.

        When your only goal is to get the company ready for the stock exchange listing, you strip away everything you can to save costs and be as profitable as possible, not add features. Especially if you are already known as a fan of how Musk “optimized” Twitter.

          Yea, but adding features increases profit, because more people will spend more time on your platform and maybe even subscribe to premium.
