People spend real money on reddit. What a bunch of loosers.

That's what I thought when I first saw gold back in 2010...

While I’ve never given Reddit a penny, it was totally different back then. In those times, the site was much smaller, and buying gold got you r/lounge access and supported the site. They felt more community oriented and weren’t aggressively monetizing the service. Nowadays it’s like paying for Facebook or twitter, absolutely not.

r/lounge was easily the cringiest community I have ever encountered on reddit.
