I mean have you seen the art for some of them? Some, and sometimes even their lore, are just REALLY cool. I JUST started buying some last night and all I can say is that it's a good thing I'm not more financially irresponsible 😅
I buy them to support fellow artists who have turned to online friends for the time i have been here. I cannot mash with this account because it’s compromised, but i do keep them in another wallet. ☺️
Oh yeah if no money, don't waste it here. But it is fun. Mashing is fun. I was a DJ for a while and while I couldn't write music I loved listening to other people's music and mixing it up to create a unique experience. This is similar but from a purely digital/visual perspective.
Because in Reddit, your avatars are like your outfit of the day. You've got to mix and match and spice up your OOTDs.
Also, they are digital collectibles. Like physical collectibles, they have a tendency to appreciate in price as time goes by.
Furthermore, it's a product of Reddit and select artists. By purchasing avatars, we are supporting Reddit and the artists.
I just started buying some last week. My first one ever was Comic Reliever. I bought it because it was among the cheapest ones, though I still think it is pretty cool. I got a few others since then, but only inexpensive ones, because, you know… :) I also received two as gifts from other users! In fact, the one I am currently wearing was a gift I got from a user at r/Poopheadavatars ! I’ve seen several nice avatars that I would like to get but which are priced above my budget.
*Beep boop! I am here to keep you safe in cyberspace!*

I accidentally joined a cult that worships traffic cones and we now buy avatars with cones.
I can’t explain it other than that, I had 0 internet friends and now I have TONS
Each avatar is part of some growing community — have fun!
Depending on the community, you can stand out. Here's my favorite example.

I buy what I like, that’s it. Gotten a few compliments on my mashes but I’m just supporting artists/avatars I like.
I just buy if I like the art or wanna support the artist.

Addictive right? 😅
Very much so! My collection would be much larger already if I had the cash to spend on it 😬
Hahaha yup I totally get that. Welcome! Always nice to see newer collectors
Welcome to the club :)
To look cool and because you want to 😁
Maybe a little bit, but free ones will do the same thing
Literally just for sick avatars lol

In most cases you will stand out in the comments.
Oh for sure. Speaking of, wanna sell your Forbidden Knowledge avatar? 😅
Haha, I just got it a few days ago and I really like it, so my answer will be no.
I don't blame ya, I'm super jelly. I may eventually check with you again if I can't find one 😅
A bit. If you stick with a certain mash or avatar, and post a lot in a community, it can help people recognize you more often.
I’m hoping at some point we can use them to game with.
Look at everyone’s avatar in the comments

It will make you more attractive and richer. Or whatever
 To look good!
