A vote, usually short for “Updoot” meaning upvote. Originally from the 2011 “Skull Trumpet” or “Doot Doot” meme, which features a computer-animated skull[1] playing two notes on a trumpet. The skull became known as Mr. Skeltal and his sound as a doot. “Updoot” is a word often used by Reddit content collectors on Facebook or YouTube channels, and often associated with r/dankmemes.

The Updoot Award[2] costs 300 coins and the animated Doot Doot award[3] costs 400 coins. Neither give any additional benefits, and r/Showerthoughts believe both are impossible[4] in any event.
