    I used reddit for almost 9 years and aside from reddit gold, I had no idea what the modern awards did / can’t even see them on my (now depreciated) app.

      It puts a small icon next to your name on your awarded post/comment.

      That’s all.

      Third-party apps were forbidden from accessing the feature, as it was exclusive to their inner GraphQL API.

        Before they killed r/pan, awards above the lowest level used to extend a streamer’s time. They also give a period of Reddit Premium (i.e. ad-free, plus a few free coins to give awards yourself) - I’ve got about another year of that still from a few surprisingly successful streams I did.
