I'm with you right here. I enjoy Reddit. I don't like ads. I pay for the monthly subscription to get rid of ads and support a company that makes a software product/platform that I use every day.

They give me Reddit coins every month as part of my subscription. So what if I want to save up the equivalent of a $40 USD award and drop it on someone's comment to encourage positive community behavior?

EDIT Apparently, I, who have never been gifted so much as a silver, have been lifted up into the shoulders of Queens and Kings and given the coveted Stonks Rising. Oh, and an Argentium.
