    I refuse to help Reddit artificially juice their active users metrics by signing back in to contribute, but this is pretty funny

      Yeah, I find protesting Reddit by using Reddit to be incredibly stupid. Just leave and don’t touch it at all, if their user metrics and site traffic are so low, then they’re just gonna lose their advertisers, which is probably one of their main sources of income.

        Honorable mention to the people giving shooting star awards (you know, the EXPENSIVE one) to all of the comments on /r/place. Sure did show them there didn’t you!

          Some people were premium subscribers for years. They probably just used their accumulated coins since they’re being taken away soon.

      You have to use the mobile app too. This is purely a stunt to get app adoption.
