Reddit is going to sunset its current coins and awards systems, meaning you won’t be able to buy Reddit Gold for posts you like. However, it is working on a new system for awards.

This is specially funny given that aluminium used to be damn expensive in the 19th century. It was mostly obtained by reacting aluminium chloride with alkaline metals back then.

In other words: we're back to the roots! Who cares if gold this, gold that, alemmynium is more precious and useful!
