Reddit may be tricking users to buy awards/coins (kbin.social)

Recently, Reddit announced that they may be discontinuing awards/coins on September 12. However I'm skeptical and I think this may be just a deceptive announcement for them to make a quick buck from awards/coins. What are your opinions on this?

I don't think that after this announcement people will still buy coins / awards. A lot of them have coins and by default awards through premium membership or because they actually bought it. What you see now is really angry people gifting awards and through this spending coins before they vanish in September.

Because of this stunt even more redditors cancelled premium. And you see a lot of people who lose trust and wont spend money on the platform in the future.
