This feels like one of those things where in a few months there will be an update post where Reddit Admins are apologizing for ‘missing the mark’, and telling us ‘we hear you’ when they announce its going away.
NFTs are cancer, even if you go out of your way to not say the word NFT.
And your timing is impeccable given the current market trends.
This is so ‘how do you do fellow kids?’ it’s ridiculous.

They didn't have that announcement for their bitcoin knockoff, they just kinda quietly shuttered it. Also haven't heard anything about community points[1] in a while

I feel like adding polls was the last actually useful thing that was added to reddit

Missed the boat on this ponzi scheme, but there will be others. Look forward to hearing in a few months about how Reddit is sunsetting this 'feature', so sorry everyone. *Totally not our fault for trying to cash in on these easy scams even though it took us 6 months to think of a way we could do it*.
Strong **pride and accomplishment** feelings about this crap.

Upvoted. I came here to basically say the same thing. I'm so sick of this NFT/crypto scam bullshit.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is some product manager's performance review project to get a promotion and they don't care what happens to it after the fact.

I love how that video is the only source for anyone's disapproval for NFT's. His bulk list of sources are all tweets, medium blogs, and opinion articles with no peer reviewed research. There are educational articles that disprove a lot of both the hype and anti-hype. Yet people rely on sources like this and then claim to know it all.
It isn't hard to do the math and realize your one year of driving a car is doing more harm than producing a single NFT. That doesn't make headlines however.
I love to hate on successful things too though.

I don't get the hate towards admins and devs. If people are still stupid enough to buy a NFT, I say let them. It's not harming anybody. It's as dumb as it gets but it's no worse than spending money on buying different awards as if their difference mean anything. It's all fugazi anyway

That youtube you linked is very lightly researched and factually incorrect in many parts. Guess that doesn’t matter if you have a bias that needs confirmed.

They won’t roll back in this. Like it or not NFTs aren’t going away and most big tech executives are starting to embrace them as a new revenue stream.

They will probably silently drop it like when they announced that they would launch their own token, reddit notes.
Big announcement, then nothing.

They are now giving them away for free probably because no one was buying them.
