      I always thought that was a sign it was astroturfed. Like my post? Give Reddit money!

      I also hate “happy cake day”, and “this”. Especially “this”. It’s a worthless comment that adds nothing more to the discussion than a simple upvote.

        Hey, it can be one if you believe it! It’s well-deserved commendation for your contribution to the Fediverse.

      Trick to avoiding that is to never get gold. Took me 10 years to never get gold once. I’m good at what I don’t do.
