View submission: Sunsetting Secret Santa and Reddit Gifts

enhancing the user experience

Aren't community events as much of the experience as the tech? If not more?

Countless acts of love, heroism, compassion, support, growth and hilarity happened through Reddit Gifts, and those memories will live on in the hearts of our community.

But apparently they weren't a valuable enough part of the user experience.

By "user experience" they mean monetization and ads.
