      Yep, I’ve been gifted it once. I wasn’t really sure what the point was though, did it actually mean anything relevant?

        You got into a super special sub full of shitposts lol. I posted once and ran away. I never paid for it but used to get it from awards. Then they made it paid only and there was never a reason to go back.

        Back when reddit was smaller and more community driven, and went down more often, it was pretty much known to not do much. You got access to a gold subreddit and it was more or less a way to donate to a website you used a lot.

        This made more sense when reddit was a small community driven upstart with frequent meetups, and secret santas, and a smaller feel.

        Then reddit became one of the biggest websites on the web and I dont quite get why people kept doing it.
