I still use reddit and had not heard of this either.
Apparently "it was a full blown movement that rocked reddit". Where on reddit? I feel like they couldn't point it out.
I used to use Reddit, and I remember when collectible avatars were introduced.
The experience paraphrased:
"Hey, click here to claim a free collectible avatar!" *open in new tab* "Here it is! However, you first need to set up crypto wallet—" *close tab*
I feel like I joined Reddit so long ago that I can't really remember the sign up process but I do dimly seem to remember that I had to unsubscribe from a bunch of stuff your default subscribe to because it was all garbage.
So probably what happened is they only advertised it in the stupid subs like that one where they still think lol catz is peak humour.
i can haz my nostalgic meme u don't have to h8 it :3
You probably had to be ~~drinking from their toilet~~ using their app to see it or some shit.
