You know the company and the users are completely divorced when you read something like that. Redditors have spent years telling each other that awards are useless and a waste of money - then the admins touch it and everybody flips their lid. I for one am glad I’m no longer part of that toxic relationship.
There was that confessional reddit mod post that admitted some mods were blowing thousands of dollars on bots to boost the popularity of their own sub. I’ve also seen people complain that they blew hundreds to thousands on shitty avatars.
I’m in awe at the sheer lunacy of some people. These are people that don’t even know the concept of “touching” or “grass”.
The problem is treating an entire community as some sort of singular entity. People do this shit all the time and make claims like “redditors are so hypocritical” when in reality you have two completely different groups of people saying different things but are both users in the same community.
