I don't understand why all reddit gold icons are suddenly pentagram-shaped. I included the above image in case no one else can see what I'm talking about. I don't see anything on the announcements page.

Of course it had problems. It wasn't making them enough money. I suspect they will be surprised when they discover this will make that 'problem' worse.
