    I think you misunderstand the theory.

    If you are gifted gold or platinum, you get short term Reddit Premium for free. You didn’t pay for it, but you get to not watch ads.

    Reddit removes to ability to gift gold and platinum, and this removes the ability to be gifted out of seeing ads, and now your eyeballs are in poverty Reddit full of ads.

    It’s kind of a dumb because Reddit could keep gold and platinum awards and just make them not gift premium features to the recipient anymore, but put no stupid plan past Reddit.

    I think like the other comments here it’s going to be some kind of self-paid promotion bump to shoot your own comments to the top of threads.

      Ah, you’re right.

      So what would be the best way to burn any leftover coins before they’re gone?

        Just leave without flushing.
