I get your point, but I don't think that the correct answer to people abusing the award system is to get rid of it entirely. If someone abuses something, they should be reported and banned, which is what reddit added to address this.
Reddit is a private company and hasn't said anything about how much money they make any time recently, but I would bet they are still in the red. I would much rather an award system like this than them continuing to increase the number of ads you see. If there are occasional abuse issues it's better to address them directly than to throw out the whole system.
There's nothing here!
