Redditors care about their coins a lot. Not really a shock.
I mean, it's less about the coins and more about something that has an equivalent monetary value being wiped without any compensation whatsoever.
No compensation? Seriously?
If people were a premium subscriber they got a certain amount of coins each month. I can understand being pissed if you were saving them with the intention of using them later.
Luckily I never gave reddit money.
Man, they already managed to piss off their tech savy users, then their moderators, now their paying users. All thats left is pissing off the content creators and the site is basically done.
Don't forget the blind users
Blind users were spared having to see the redesign. They were on borrowed time

Yes, seriously. In the announcement, they made a point to restate the fine print that says "no refunds."
Do they? I used RIF and honestly don't recall a way to even see or use coins on there. If there was I never touched it.
