Why would they be furious about not being able to spend money on reddit?

[-] Clocksstriking13@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

It think they're mad because some of them already paid for a year and the awards and gold were part of why they got premium. Now awards and fold are disappearing mid-september and they feel they aren't getting what they paid for anymore.

Oh that makes sense.

I paid for coins a while ago because I liked giving people reddit gold as a reward for good content. I was just told to go spend it on something that they will remove anyways (awards). That is is why I'm furious. I paid real money for them to just remove them. They don't even convert it into premium for myself. I would have to go to a subreddit and give gold awards to someone else to in turn get them to award me premium. I'm just done.

So new user here. Someone got a link to all the cat subs here on lemmy?

There did used to be a hacky way to gild your own posts, I don't know if it ever got patched

There is !aww@lemmy.world

There is also another site that I've found to have lot of cat content with squabbles.io which is another alternative people have turned to.
