    I remember there was a TIL that was about how Reddit didn’t make enough money to pay for its servers so people started encouraging others to buy gold and to gild comments.

    Then someone said it would be great to see a progress meter that shows whether we paid enough to pay for reddit for the day.

    It was the golden age of reddit, if you’ll pardon the pun. Unidan was still around. Celebrities were engaging with the community. It was wild. Users wanted to see Reddit succeed and reddit proper wanted to help its users.

    It’s sad to see what Reddit has become.

      I’m still justice for Victoria and what they did to the AMA sub. That damn near killed all the cool engagement the site had. After that it just became endless shitposts with no real quality. It’s sort of the same on Lemmy, but with no corporate overlords. So I have that at least.

        Victoria was GOAT. She made sure that AMAs went smoothly and that celebrities knew what they were getting into.

        But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s talk about Rampart, this new movie starring Woody Harrelson.
