Oh, they're being cute with this. You need to pay money to get what reddit is calling "gold" (formerly known as coins), which you can use to give awards with. But one of the old awards you still can't give is the old-style reddit "gold" (premium). So they want ever more money without even giving the minor account boost you used to get, just for some skin for a comment. Fuck those guys.
Why have a thriving community when you can kill the nice and/or helpful ones with a lead pipe and then try to squeeze money out of the remaining morons?
