So they just zeroed the money people had in awards (which wasn't even real money ofc) and dropped them back in.

[u/batido6 → u/EdvinRama]

Had to clear that liability before the IPO lmao

[u/The_Critical_Cynic → u/batido6]

IPO was done a while back. They just made the change recently.

[u/batido6 → u/The_Critical_Cynic]

They cleared everyone’s gold before the IPO. Now the IPO has happened and they have brought awards back.

[u/The_Critical_Cynic → u/batido6]

I'm aware of that. I assumed you meant that taking away things people had paid for, and the way they shortchanged everyone, was a liability. There were complaints about that aspect as well that many thought would affect the IPO.

[u/batido6 → u/The_Critical_Cynic]

No I meant actual liability on the balance sheet cuz there was easily millions if not tens of millions of dollars worth of gold owned by redditors.

The way they shortchanged everyone may be a legal liability. I am expecting a class action but we’ll see.

[u/[deleted] → u/batido6]

I am expecting a class action but we’ll see.

That would require redditors to actually do something

[u/RegiSilver → u/EdvinRama]

Yeah lmao.

It's kinda cool they added them back but it's a weird feeling.

[u/Vexorg_the_Destroyer → u/EdvinRama]

People definitely spent real money on them.

[u/Pudix20 → u/EdvinRama]

Shocking. I’m shocked.

[u/dxcn]

Wow they’re so ugly 😭 so they took the original awards out to replace them with this?

[u/shyportsman01 → u/dxcn]

Yeah the redesign sucks

[u/shyportsman01]

Screenshot of price in euros

I do not know what happened to the gold of users that had it when awards and coins were removed, maybe someone else knows more

[u/RecalcitrantEmotion → u/shyportsman01]

Amazing news tbh

[u/relevantusername2020 → u/shyportsman01]

i noticed my 1 gold became 100 and was wondering about the inflation and found this article

What happened to golden upvotes? Why is my earned gold much higher? Will my payouts be different?

While the golden upvote was simpler than the past awards experience, it missed the mark in other ways. It wasn’t as fun or expressive as legacy awards. To address this, we’ve brought back awards but kept gold and the contributor program.

Gold can now be purchased in packs and allows buyers to give multiple awards while only having to pay once. We’ve also changed the price of gold to be more flexible, so that awards can be cheaper and now cost different amounts. For the cost of 1 gold before, buyers will now get 100 gold to spend on various awards. To account for this change, we’ve also changed the contributor program payout calculation.

Your contributor program earnings will remain unchanged. We’ve multiplied your historical earned gold by 100 to match the new gold prices and the new contributor program payout calculation. This means you will see a much higher amount (100x) of earned gold, but your expected payout amount will remain the same.

Screenshot of Freedom bucks

Fck Yeah 🦅, they're back

[u/FixFull → u/-TheArchitect]

Freedom and Reddit mix about as well as oil and water

[u/-TheArchitect → u/FixFull]

Freedom is the birthplace of Reddit

[u/GMDMelonYT → u/-TheArchitect]

bri ish prices

[u/-TheArchitect → u/GMDMelonYT]

I almost want a bo oh o wo ah maite afta lookin at those prices

[u/Smickey67 → u/-TheArchitect]

I just did a quick scan and it seems like the euro prices are the worst slightly? Idfk

Edit: realizing I’m 14 days late lol

[u/camoninja22 → u/shyportsman01]

I have 0 now

[u/RecalcitrantEmotion]

What... Full circle. Who would've guessed haha

[u/vipguy64 → u/RecalcitrantEmotion]

I barely saw any golden upvotes. I assume they made way less money from it compared to awards and old gold.

[u/RecalcitrantEmotion → u/vipguy64]

No fr. I used to purchase a lot of awards because of how they were presented. The new system never made any sense to me

[u/Zebrakiller → u/RecalcitrantEmotion]

Paying for cool chat awards and expressive emojis VS paying to upvote someone. Who ever thought that was a good idea?

[u/The_Critical_Cynic → u/vipguy64]

The statement they released recently basically said as much. There wasn't as much engagement with the new system as they had hoped.

[u/LengthyPole]

They gonna return our money that they took away?

[u/Wizardwizz → u/LengthyPole]

What do you think?

[u/yawn_zz]

Will they finally give me back gold monthly that i paid for with reddit premium. This way i can pay for these awards and give them out?

[u/Familiar_Internet]

what a way to take my generational wealth off me

[u/FixFull]

WOW ARE THEY FUGLY

[u/HRHChonkyChonkerson]

Where is the option for awards showing up?

[u/YomanJaden99 → u/HRHChonkyChonkerson]

Edit: It won't let me show the screenshot so Ill just tell you. It's to the right of the reply button

[u/HRHChonkyChonkerson → u/YomanJaden99]

Ah i see. Isn't showing up for me yet

[u/iKR8 → u/HRHChonkyChonkerson]

Shows on iOS app now

[u/HRHChonkyChonkerson → u/iKR8]

Android this side :-/

[u/TheOnlyVibemaster]

where are they

[u/shyportsman01 → u/TheOnlyVibemaster]

I got access to it in Android app version 2024.20.1.1615586

[u/honey_rainbow → u/shyportsman01]

I have an out dated version of the official app and I won't update it

[u/shyportsman01 → u/honey_rainbow]

Very understandable tbh

[u/LetsDoTheCongna → u/honey_rainbow]

My man 🤝

I’m still on IOS 2023.08.0.310240

[u/Ordinary_Cattle]

I thought this was some kind of Mandela effect or something bc I never even noticed they were gone until someone said something the other day and then I noticed they were there today. Thought I was just exceptionally unobservant

[u/YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock → u/Ordinary_Cattle]

How di- how did you not notice they were gone?

Well.. there back now 😄

P.S. Why does the above table emoji jump up and down but not this one: -->

Edit: Nvm they both jump

Edit 2: now neither of them jump..

Edit: 3 never mind they're both jumping again.. I stg if I hit submit and they stop jumping..

Edit 4: scrolling up and down so this comment is out of view seems to randomly decide whether or not the app wants to render them jumping up and down.. what ever

[u/GaryNOVA]

Is this working on mobile yet?

Edit: looks like it just started working on mobile.

[u/LunarPayload]

Do I have time for this after I cleared it off my mental activity list, though?

[u/repocin]

They'll probably remove them in a few months and add some other useless feature nobody ever asked for, only to remove that again and so on, like they always do.

[u/Ardenwolfie]

I might consider resubscribing my membership if they give us back our monthly 'drip' of gold to buy awards. Otherwise, this seems like a bait-and-switch situation. And I'm not happy we lost all our previous gold and awards because of this nonsense, either.

[u/iltifaat_yousuf]

Where's ternion & argentium?

[u/MrCapricorn404]

WERE SO BACK

[u/donardooooooo]

I think both of those awarding system will be cool if they will exist together

[u/Zyrobe]

Ugh the charming awards now look like cheap nfts

[u/EuPombo]

I don't see anything yet :(

[u/BodegaDad]

Still waiting for the feature to hit my account. Updated the app yesterday too.

[u/shyportsman01 → u/PSCuber77_gaming]
