I could kinda tolerate Reddit gold as an alternate way to donate. But then they added a boatload of awards and it just became annoying visual noise. I blocked all awards and I’m suprised there are people who miss them. Why not add a donator badge to user profiles if you want some kind of value for your donation?
I fully agree. And it feels great to do something you believe in without expecting to recognized for it. I just tried to give an alternative to comment awards that would limit the visual noise.
