“Supports the creators” makes me think they have a revenue split and they got rid of the old system to prevent people from not knowing the difference

    "supports the creators?" like the person who created the comment gets paid? probably not. I've made zillions of witty upvoted comments and I haven't earned a dime. Where does that money go? Into spez's pockets.

    Supposedly you can cash these golds out if you get 10 of them, at a rate of $1 per gold, as long as you live in the US. I figure that the left-most gild is equivalent to 1 gold, so Reddit is keeping roughly 70% of the money you pay through this system.
