I just got this email from Reddit, and I just realized it’s been a year now since I swapped over here, and I haven’t thought about awards once. I always thought they were gimmicky and a way for people to throw away money. It’s just really nice not worrying about them.
(I also have participated more in BuyMeACoffee and Patreon over here now, and I think my money is better spent that way)
Also, what is with that exponential scale, so screw you if you’re a big time user apparently? And the expiration? The whole thing has corpo stink on it
Only thing I can come up with since they own the currency and the value of the currency is profit. Their biggest supporters are probably already spending a ton on awards and they don’t want this to cut into their profit too much.
