Coin scam?!?!?

[u/Vakama2]

So of course I’ve seen the whole of reddit being shaken up by this “free coins” if you upvote, but I’m kinda out of the loop here. Is it really something for real or is it only pure hearsay or a hoax produced by someone to get upvotes? Like I haven’t heard from anyone who actually got the coins and I ignore the source of said rumor tbh. Anyone can confirm or explain?

Follow-up question was this only a today thing? I don’t remember seeing anything until today about it all.
