    I don’t know, to me getting gold or platinum always made me happy, even more recently (up until I quit Reddit). It said someone liked what you said enough to make an effort to show you and give you a little present. At least, that’s how I interpreted it.

    I’m done with Reddit, I think Reddit has gone to shit, but that particular aspect made me smile because someone did something nice for me.

      Yup, getting the original plain basic gold feels really special, and the many, many awards that is used later does not capture the oooomph value.

      Well, I’m talking about the days before platinum. Like, when a gold award was only $5. I gave out several and got several. It was pretty cool. Then.
