View submission: We heard you… awards are back!
Plus the old system worked on old reddit.
But that’s probably one of the reasons they’re not reverting to the old system, they want old reddit to die.

But isn’t that still counter-productive? People browsing old Reddit now have no way to spend money on awards. Wouldn’t it have been better for Reddit to keep the system that allowed old Reddit users to also spend money on awards?

Which is bizarre, considering how popular it is.

Exactly, they probably have in internal threshold (let's say 10% of users), and if old reddit usage drops below it they'll quickly get rid of it. Now they are trying everything they can to achieve that threshold.

But without old reddit, I doubt they will make the same numbers as they did with the old system. They need that old userbase in order to break even.

I wonder what sort of user exodus would occur if they got rid of old reddit. I can't stand new reddit and would probably stop using reddit altogether.
