They 100% influenced my opinion, there is no credibility behind the type of person that purchases reddit gold to give awards to the opinions they want to lift up above others. Rewards for comments that have to be purchased have no place in a forum.

    IMO the moment that site jumped the shark was when the userbase agreed on ‘reddit silver’ as a way to acknowledge high quality content without being forced to pay for cyberstickers.

    so of course reddit corp wasted no time monetizing it.

    everything that’s come since has been entirely foreseeable just based on that experience.
