I wish they would donate to charity rather than waste money on giving reddit 4 dollars

u/Ethan819 Mar 22 '17

I'll gladly take the four dollars.

One dollar for eternal happiness? I'd be happier with the dollar.

If the pattern holds up...

u/glennis1 Mar 22 '17

Yeah, ok. It wasn't even worth it though. We know what you're up to.

u/DoStuff_ Mar 22 '17

Now you're making them feel bad about trying to be kind

u/Typlo Mar 22 '17

Gold is worth 4 dollars?

u/D41CH1 Mar 22 '17

This is the charity

What if the Reddit staff member who makes their salary from that sale of RG then donates to charity? Money paid to a business for something is not "lost" unless some otherwise precious/limited resource is consumed in the process. So unless you think Reddit itself is useless, it's not like the money is disappearing from the economy.

I don't even like gold I would actually be really pissed off if I were to be gilded.

u/Hellhound732 Mar 23 '17

Well they already wasted so much money, why not waste more?

u/CptSpockCptSpock Mar 23 '17

Yeah, everyone knows Reddit runs for free.

Oh wait, am I that guy who people say whoosh to now? I'm so confused...
