Elon is definitely the type to love the idea of micro transactions.

We laugh now, but 4chan was mocking the whole concept over a decade ago.

I mean then they went and actually implemented it...

I was already creeped out by Reddit's coin system. It was weird then getting coins to spend through awards...to give more awards.

Now I wonder if I was being fed coins by Reddit company agents to try to get me accustomed enough to coins to buy more.

Serious dark pattern shit.

Sure, let's go with that.

Except the refresh would cost 11 points with the same pricing system.
