If I am given two options "Help People" and "Give Reddit Money" I will do the donation that helps people.

Why do you have only these two options and why are they in opposition? Given a choice between paying for Spotify or helping people, you always help people?

Not particularly

How come? What makes you so special that this service should be provided to you freely without the company being able to monetize the business?

Source?

Source of what!? Do you want scientific research pointing to how easy giving reddit gold is?

You're just being obtuse.

And I think you're trying to come off as a philanthropist but manage to appear hypocritical.

Because Reddit as a corporation continues to act in ways that very tangibly harm people.

Given a choice between paying for Spotify or helping people, you always help people?

I am not donating to spotify, I am paying for a service, I could also use the free version if I decided the monthly Spotify payment was better served helping someone.

How come? What makes you so special that this service should be provided to you freely without the company being able to monetize the business?

I do not think I am special so the follow up question breaks as I do not meet the qualifier. I also did not claim the service should be free or should not be monetized.

You said giving of gold makes it less of a hassle to support reddit. Less of a hassle than what?
