    That would really be great. For 2 dollars a month, you get one free daily award. That alone would solve the server costs.

        I like the concept of awards because it’s a nice way to

        • quickly identify really good comments
        • support the instance in a sustainable way

        However (this might be controversial), I’m not a huge fan of meme awards. Reddit kind of incentivizes people to write meme responses which kind of pollutes threads. Maybe we can dial back a bit on that.

          Honestly I agree. I think Gold was enough, though the extra meme awards probably bring in quite a bit of money
