I just install Reddit official app to see watch they offer. And holy cow. They are selling NFT-like stuff.
Instead make a better app, they give use this.

Didn’t they already long sell NFT avatars?
They did pretty much since nfts exploded in popularity.
Yeah they made a page for them at https://nft.reddit.com/ back in 2021.
Jesus christ, having such an avatar would make me delete my account in shame. Especially if it also told people that i was into nfts at the same time.
Kinda don’t see what the big deal is. Probably best use for “unique” goods. Dunno if they use blockchain because as I’ve understood it that’s just a resource hog.
But selling users unique avatars? Don’t see the appeal and they are fugly and seem dumb but like that’s so inoffensive nothing burger.
The avatars also have a visual effect to them next to comments.
I think people don’t like this at all not just because NFTs bad, but also because it changes reddit more and more from the website it used to be for commenting on articles & images into crypto social media.
I can’t confirm the visual effect, never saw that on the website. But all NFTs have a hexagonal form, whereas normal avatars have a circle.
