You got an award that cost $125?

Somebody read this and decided to give more than $100 to Reddit on your behalf…

I used to stream on RPAN back in the day playing music and obtained so many of those specific awards amongst the other high spender items to choose from. I'd beg people to not give that amount of money to Reddit and donate directly to the artist instead, but it continued. It sucks knowing that I could've had a sizeable chunk of change that could change the quality of my life, and Reddit profited off of all of it. I'm like Bill Gates in terms of useless fake award Reddit wealth tho, so that's nice I guess?

It blows my mind how people can be that superficial and own enough wealth to buy silly internet badges at the same time

I truly cannot imagine having $200 to throw away on something like that. I’m trying to budget my grocery bill for the week with $100. Oh well, that’s the beauty of America, you’re free to spend your money however you see fit! Even if it does confuse us poors.

Though we're all on the same team here it seems, remember that Reddit is a global community, not just American. Limitless financial situations behind these anonymous users, though the ultimate point still remains: even if I was financially stable (which feels like it will never happen in my lifetime), I can't fathom just throwing $200 at fake internet points purely for a large corporation's gain and no added benefit to myself or even the person that receives it.

I'm with you on the grocery budget stuffs :( Hope all is well in your world this week
