If you have reddit coins that are about to go to waste... I would search for a "fuck u/spez" post and award it as much as you can

A little extra traffic will go to reddit... but fuck them. They're taking monetary value away from your account, so ya might as well use the coins you have as you see fit (while you still can). Fuck u/spez and fuck reddit

Eh, people kept awarding me, so I do have a couple left over from all that. Wasn't gonna use them because that would make me look like a tool, but this idea might be funny enough to sway me

I like the other idea of finding posts about Lemmy and awarding those. Or if you have Alts make a post. Award the post, use an alt. Use that free gold to award another until you run out of gold awarding your own posts about going to Lemmy.

I'd wager a large chunk of awards given out are through the free coins they'd give away/coins gotten from your post being gilded.

I had some from awards I had gotten in the past. I also did buy some to try and secretly award my wife on one of her posts (I was just trying to be a sweet at the time. She did find out. It was still sweet)

But I also deleted an account that had some coins without thinking about it... cause it didn't matter. Main point though; fuck them

I used to have Premium, to make up for not getting ads on Apollo. (Plus, you know, ad free viewing on old.reddit.com on the desktop.) You get an allotment of coins each month. Canceled last month, but still have the coins.

I'm just curious, do you not have an ad blocker on your browser? I've never paid anything, and I still haven't seen any ads
