Reddit is getting rid of its Gold awards system (www.theverge.com)

Reddit is going to sunset its current coins and awards systems, meaning you won’t be able to buy Reddit Gold for posts you like. However, it is working on a new system for awards.

After they introduced several other awards except gold, the awards completely lost its meaning (and value) in my eyes. I still remember the bliss I felt the day I discovered Apollos "hide awards"-setting.

It wasn't that bad, gold just signals that the comment is good (intensity), but some of the other awards made explicit the way in which it is good (hue/flavour) e.g. funny, informative, creative, sarcastic...I actually liked the award system (even if I always was a bit suspicious of who was giving them and what their intentions were)
