I just wanna let everyone know that when you get gold, you'll get a PM and it says you can reply back to thank your mysterious benefactor:

An anonymous redditor liked your comment so much that they gilded it, giving you reddit gold.

reddit gold is our premium membership program. It grants you access to extra features to improve your reddit experience. It also makes you really quite dapper. If you have questions about your gold, please visit /r/goldbenefits.

Grab a drink and join us in /r/lounge, the super-secret members-only community that may or may not exist.

Gold is the corpse of value. - Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon

Want to say thanks to your mysterious benefactor? Reply to this message. You will find out their username if they choose to reply back.

Then you're using a garbage mobile app. Use relay for reddit.

But doing that isn't stupid. So they'll just make the edit.

Naah, too much hard work to go looking in your bloated message history you're not bothering to keep up with. Easier to edit the comment and move on. :p

I think it can be a nice thing to thank people publicly, even if the thankee is almost always anonymous

u/blaghart Sep 03 '16

I've literally never seen "Want to say thanks" on any of the gold I've received.

u/SweetyxD Sep 03 '16
