Seeing as how this got reddit platinum... please donate to RAINN instead. Reddit doesn't need your money, people who have gone through what Ashley did do need your help. It could save their lives.

People are awarding the post for visibility

cole1114Kappa[S] 154 points155 points 4 months ago

Is that a thing, awards making the post more visible?

[deleted] 114 points115 points 4 months ago

Yes, but this also needs to be taken to twitter. That’s where it will gain the most traction.

Edit: Yes, I realize that this post is a link from twitter. My point was that everyone in here needs to be sharing and posting to twitter as well. That’s where these companies and people will hear you.

tyerkerCM Punk's Burst MRSA Sack 16 points17 points 4 months ago

It’s literally a share of a tweet...

neoengel 2 points3 points 4 months ago

Just did my part to share it on twitter.

mentho-lyptus 1 point2 points 4 months ago

Taken to twitter? It’s taken from twitter.

KayfabeRankings#1: Rollins and Lynch 2 points3 points 4 months ago

Yes, the best way to get a post to the front page is to give Reddit money to do so.

Striker654[🍰] 2 points3 points 4 months ago

A post with a million gilds/plats will always draw my curiosity, especially when I'm browsing r/all

yourcoolオースチン3:16 1 point2 points 4 months ago

Some people see the guilding as 'super likes' and the visual of the guild on those posts attracts peoples eyes.

wloff 0 points1 point 4 months ago

Gilded posts always attract a lot more attention, which translates to way more upvotes, which means even more visibility, and so on. It really is a snowball that keeps gaining momentum once it gets going.

And reddit is worse than ever. People need to stop giving this overly censored site money.

Edit: fuck you

Edit: okay then

RonaldKeysley 82 points83 points 4 months ago

And another fucking loser guilds.

Tom_Dynamite 23 points24 points 4 months ago

Could be gilded without spending money though. When you get gold or platinum, additional to regular perks, you get a few reddit coins that you can use to give gold to others.

RonaldKeysley 2 points3 points 4 months ago

If that's true then fair enough.

Urfaust 0 points1 point 4 months ago

Also, I believe it can be free for mods to give this away.

JGraham1839LISTEN FUCKHEAD 0 points1 point 4 months ago

I think you get some on your cake day too. Not exactly sure but I had 600 coins (enough for Gold and silver) just after my cake day and I hadn't been guilded recently. So yeah there are multiple ways to get gold, and a lot of people just don't care enough once they get coins and either guild randomly or ironically

phrostbytThe Apex Redditor -1 points0 points 4 months ago

fucking idiots guilding everyone. reddit doesn't need any more money damnit!

Nindzya -2 points-1 points 4 months ago

I think it's hilarious watching people scream "BoYcOt ReDdIt GoLd" over deleted comments as if they are entitled to a voice on reddit's platform, and even more hilarious when some loser freaks out when said comments are gilded. People virtue signal against reddit so hard they've tricked themselves into believing they're actually making the word a better place spreading awareness of the evil reddit censorship boogeyman.

Meanwhile we're talking about a rape and severe trauma survivor and people still make it about reddit.

sawmyoldgirlfriend -1 points0 points 4 months ago

It's probably the mods.

SonicPunk96The Best in the World. 10 points11 points 4 months ago

lol of course someone paid reddit to gild your comment.

Hot_Wheels_guy 6 points7 points 4 months ago

overly censored

this is rich considering how many hate groups thrive on reddit due to its lax censorship.

TheHeroicOnionYou know nothing, John Cone. -5 points-4 points 4 months ago

Lax? Every violent sub is gone.

Hot_Wheels_guy 9 points10 points 4 months ago


howabout a post on "frenworld" celebrating the NZ mosque shooter, and the comments that were deleted there, including this one:

21 points 3 weeks ago

Wow frens it looks like our fren here is securing the existance of frens and fren children. He's a cool fren, be like him.

which mimics the "14 words" of white supremacy

or how about the donald?

more talk of hanging politicians in the_donald

talk of hanging 'leftists' in the_donald

"Rope. Tree. Clinton. Some assembly required."

post encouraging people to invest in rope for hanging people

more talk of hanging people in TD

Should I keep going? I mean this list is from over a year ago and there have been tons more "rope" posts on TD since then. And I'm only talking about posts that mention actual murder. There are tons of subreddits that promote naziism and white supremacy, which- may I remind you- are ideologies whose ultimate goals cannot be met without violence and murder.

yourcoolオースチン3:16 6 points7 points 4 months ago

I got a bunch of free Reddit coins when the app went from AlienBlue to the Reddit app so it's not necessarily people doling out money for the guilding.

PickleInDaButt 1 point2 points 4 months ago

I had a upvoted comment in /r/askreddit that was getting a shit ton of platinum and gold. I edited and asked people to give to the Gary Sinise Foundation instead of Golding me.

Moderators banned me and deleted the comment.

TheHeroicOnionYou know nothing, John Cone. -1 points0 points 4 months ago

Most mods on the main subs are cunts on a fantasy power trip.

It's not like all awards came because the person giving them paid. If you've been here long enough and make good enough content, the coins just come to you. Sure, someone else paid for it, but if you then go and give an award you will have spent exactly 0 of your preferred currency.

xlkslb_ccdtks 0 points1 point 4 months ago

I love when someone talks about how shitty a company is and people think it's funny and quirky to give money to the company for a dumb joke... Smh but I wouldn't expect any better from this site i guess

[deleted] 2 points3 points 4 months ago

Considering the work that Mick Foley has done for RAINN, and proudly advocated the work they do, I think this needs to be pushed at him for comment considering his scheduled upcoming appearance on Raw

SpaceGalaxy-10v3 0 points1 point 4 months ago

Then your comment gets another platinum. The irony lol. But I’m gonna do that good idea.

glennwolf 0 points1 point 4 months ago


TheGunOfBrixton -3 points-2 points 4 months ago

The mods are the ones that give these posts the gold and shit. It's a fact. No one buys it.

osokin -46 points-45 points 4 months ago

Wow,only 3 upvotes. This place is disgusting.

AnderrrrrAn Irrelevant Smark. 24 points25 points 4 months ago

The comment only just got posted 10 minutes ago, calm down mate!

MilkyLikeCereal 18 points19 points 4 months ago

He’s probably the same guy who posts “underrated tweet” under the top reply 20 seconds after it was posted.

osokin -2 points-1 points 4 months ago

I stand by my comment.
