View submission: Introducing Collectible Avatars
Because reddit is not after us. We, the common users, are the drain.
People that read announcements and actually post comments of any substance are not common anymore, the common reddit user welcomes any change that makes reddit look more like social media. Just like lootboxes are bought in small quantities by a majority of users in many videogames. These collectible avatars will be purchased by much more people than we, users from before 2019, would expect, mostly because we tend to forget that the reddit user demographic has drastically changed the past couple of years.

Isn't that the exact opposite of what happens? Most people buy nothing, but a small percentage of users (the aforementioned whales) put a ton of money in.
