View submission: Sunsetting Secret Santa and Reddit Gifts
What’s with you guys? I mean you have phoned in the April fools day thing multiple years in a row now. Now you kill off Reddit gifts. You’re not broke. It’s like an attitude of complacency and defeatism has permeated your company, Reddit’s not as fun as it once was.
Edit: r/newsecretsanta exists, made by the original creator of the whole thing. Consider checking them out

Yeah, but now you’ll be able to buy and award people a jingle bells award!!! You buy them, and a very small part of the proceeds go to the charity of our choosing that our cousin vinny runs! Fun, right!?!!
They’re just trying to give you a sense of accomplishment (or whatver that EA quote was).

The fact that this thread is filled with people giving awards speaks volumes about the community. I don't mean to be harsh, but its just so stupid.
People financially rewarding reddit for redditors top-class putdowns? Stupid.

What do you mean it's not fun? Did you not see the link in the post. You'll have nifty search and mod tools? Is that not more fun than actual community engagement?

You’re not broke
They might be. Reddit users are supposed to be the least valuable of any social network, I imagine that a lot of users use adblock and are privacy conscious.

They have to focus 100% of their efforts on censorship and social engineering

Hit the nail on the head with that one. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

I mean look at their choice of hires - their judgement is criminally poor.

They are passed their innovative stage and are just working on increasing profits. They have a captured audience who they no longer feel they have to cater to but instead exploit.

Reddit doesn't give a shit about community anymore, just revenue generation.

reddit's owned by China. They ban anyone they dont like until the community voice sounds how they want.
And people still think these guys are the good guys. And likewise is the community that they create.
