Reddit will offer six different purchase options for awarding gold, starting at a $1.99 option to buy one gold and going up to $49 for 25 gold. After you give your gold, you’ll see what Reddit calls a “golden upvote” next to the comment or post.

fuck you

I asked Reddit why it didn’t let people transfer over their coins to spend in the new system. “In the past, there were both paid and free coins that had been distributed, making it incredibly challenging,” spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt said. “After a lot of consideration, we determined it was better to start from scratch.”

fuck you

Gold can be given to posts and comments, unless they include sexual content, content with graphic violence, or feature certain mature themes (e.g., alcohol, gambling). In addition, gold cannot be awarded on content posted in a Not Safe for Work (NSFW), quarantined, or trauma support community.

fuck you

So Reddit is actually moving away from NSFW, I guess it changed significantly over the last decade with OF ads.

Someone probably figured out that the optics of allowing minors on a site which has a massive onlyfans ad presence (like, most of the NSFW now) miggggghtttt appear as if the site is creating a "high school to porn" pipeline, and that's going to be a bad look if the media ever takes notice.

Honestly, I'm shocked this hasn't happened yet. It was creepy enough to have minors on a site which was half porn before most of that porn was legitimately "now that I'm 18 I can finally show you my butthole"

Don't forget the -military propaganda -alcohol -gambling

ads which CONSTANTLY showed up for me (though I am not interested in any of them). Reddit is really a sick site when you think about it. Targeting the youth with the worst bullshit like the tobacco companies used to do.

Wait, so buying more gold doesn’t even offer you a discount? Isn’t it usually the opposite so the devs or whoever can attract more people to buy pricier stuff?

What do you mean? You get a .75¢ discount per 25. VaLuE!
