Especially the gold and plat that gave coins with them. But also, if you had Reddit premium (something else I never understood) you got a monthly supply
I received reddit gold a number of times. Never meant anything. The “lounge” was just a silent place you could access. No posts, no interactions. Just an empty private place. That was a long time ago to be fair. Maybe it became awesome. I doubt it.
I thought I read somewhere on reddit that they were handing out free credits for awards to try and artificially boost the usage to make it catch on. Then when you got things like gold, you’d get some free rewards to give away to others. I guess I assumed that’s all it ever was, as I couldn’t fathom why anyone would spend real money on that stuff. Of course, I also don’t understand people spending thousands of dollars on micro-transactions in phone games, so what do I know about human behavior…
The part about them giving away free credits you could use on awards is definitely true. I somehow came into thousands of free credits which I spent on awards to gild comments I really jived with.
I refused to give any actual money to Reddit for them, but happily paid for Apollo Ultra, which explains why I’m here now.
I’ve read comments by people saying they enjoy the feeling it gives other people when they give gold. Of course, the person I’m thinking of was long before all the fuckery with the expanse of awards.

People actually paid money for those things?
Some one had to.

Just like a lounge at an airport then, a place to chill out and relax before or after a stressful business day.

I got heaps through the free Premium they gave after they acquired Alien Blue. I never used them and they’ll expire but I never paid for them
