Even if 50k of rewards were purchased per day, which I strongly doubt is the case, then Reddit is only doing 18M per year off the rewards. Not much compared to their 100M ad revenue, and very paltry relative to their $3B valuation.

I do agree that the combined revenue from Ads+Awards+Premium subscription of Reddit would be nothing to boast off, but still making users pay for fake Internet awards is very impressive. Of all the karma based platforms, I don't know any other who has pulled this off.

It's pretty on par with anything that resembles a "game". Freemium iPhone games rake in most of their money from a few whales that spend thousands on coins in the games while 98% of players will never spend more than $20.

I don't think Reddit and Candy Crush are of same category.
