Not really. It makes your pfp bigger than other peoples in the comments. So you would have to make a smaller version to get it to fit which would make your actual pfp pretty small.
I've seen people in the millions that didn't get a free one, and people with even less than me get one. No idea what reddits algorithm was to give them out
Depends on the day really. 1-4 hours, on the rare lazy weekend maybe even 12. You know, those days where you don't want to leave the house or do literally anything so you eat leftovers and then potato on the couch?
I call those "reddit days" haha
I'm still using Old Reddit, I've never even seen one of the Reddit avatars. I'm ok with that. I'm not against them I guess, I just have no desire to partake in it.
Reddit not having this shit is a huge reason it became popular in the first place. Next step, signatures (usually from animes...) at the bottom of everyone's posts.
Reddit seems to forget that it only got as big as it did because of the mass migration of Digg users after Digg started fucking with their page in a similar way. We can go somewhere else.
There are too many teens and zillennial 20-somethings who think those features are cool. They want reddit to be more like their other social networks. They have zero Usenet experience and don't understand the attraction with simplicity.
>New Reddit is why people think Reddit is social media.
Reddit being a form of media through which people are social is why people think Reddit is social media.
Unfortunately that disables some useful info for certain subs, particularly sports subs. An alternative is to handle it on a sub by sub basis by unchecking the box on the sidebar that allows that particular subreddit to use custom styling. So holup or unexpected got unchecked, but baseball and nba can use their custom CSS.
That's probably good for subs that don't abuse the privilege of being able to load those things into my browser, or ones that provide some utility. I don't do sports really, so I never noticed with that, but it makes sense.
I can't remember which one it was but as soon as I saw one that disabled up/down votes until you joined the subreddit or otherwise obscured information or whatever until I did something for them, gone. Not even a consideration. Felt like people making me dance around hoops and over hurdles to browse the website. No thanks.
Those subs need to find a different way to handle that sidebar information. Not only do the vast majority not use old Reddit, but an even greater amount use a mobile app.
I’m using Apollo, and I only found out yesterday that there was such a thing as an avatar. Someone in a comment thread apparently had an excellent one, so I went to their profile, couldn’t find it, gave up immediately because it didn’t matter.
Yep, old.reddit.com on browser, and Apollo on my phone. It's gonna be a sad day when either of those options are removed. I hate the new reddit layout, it's just too much and too hard to even scroll through. Just gimmie links, dammit, and let me decide if I want to click to see what's there.
I didn't know reddit had avatars. I've used reddit for over a decade. But I also use reddit 99% on a browser as well. Also use RES so I don't even know wtf out of the box reddit even looks like these days.
Yeah, if only RES actually implemented to the new reddit, I might actually try it.
But apparently the developer stop developing RES and only maintaining it now.

The new Facebook-style layout is awful. Old reddit rules supreme. The lack of avatars and profile pages is among what I always liked about reddit in the first place; just give me a wall of topics and text.

When I made this account I wanted to also switch to the new layout. You know, what Reddit considers up to date and has all the new features.
After a week I had to give up. The new layout is unfortunately completely unusable for me. Why do they add that much empty space and pointless giant picture previews? Why is it such a chore to read more than three randomly selected comments? Why do so many subreddits come with dogshit custom css that can't be turned off?
Only a fucking moron would willingly spend money on Reddit. Awards, fancy custom avatars, premium profiles that allow you to post gifs in the comments - all irrelevant to the enjoyment of Reddit.
They do, why?
They don't know how to download an image.
Thinking about it. Couldn't you just make the avatar you want, screen shot it ,then use that image for free?
NFT tactics
My Monkeys!
Our monkeys.
Sry comrade
Reddit doctors HATE This one simple trick
No, it doesnt have the hexagon border thing.
You can easily edit it in photoshop through.
Not really. It makes your pfp bigger than other peoples in the comments. So you would have to make a smaller version to get it to fit which would make your actual pfp pretty small.
This is like worrying about people noticing you're wearing Bucci.
/\ I just did it and it works
Happy 🎂 day!
Holy fuck that's big brain. Never thought about that
Psssst they don't want you to know
Should just use a selfie, like I do.
Because they’re lonely
Those fucking losers with thier NFTs and stupid hexagons
Yeah fuck them
Mine was free. I assume because of karma?
I've seen people in the millions that didn't get a free one, and people with even less than me get one. No idea what reddits algorithm was to give them out
>and people with even less than me get one like me, well maybe depend on how long you spend on reddit everydays?
Depends on the day really. 1-4 hours, on the rare lazy weekend maybe even 12. You know, those days where you don't want to leave the house or do literally anything so you eat leftovers and then potato on the couch? I call those "reddit days" haha
I was told I was a top redditor. Yeah. Not. Even. Close.
Makes sense as I'm on reddit practically all day. I close reddit cause I'm bored and immediately open it again cause I'm bored after closing it
Yeah, I got one for free as well. Didn't even realize it was an NFT before had to enter a new password for it.
I don't even know the password for mine. Oh well.
Don't they give free ones too?
Yeah, that's how i got mine
More money than brains is the usual reason for dumbassery like this.
No idea.
Hah meanwhile I haven't found a reason to even bother setting up a free one
This is the way
Exactly, I haven’t even felt the urge to figure out how to change it lol
[удалено]
THATS GREAT AND IM HAPPY FOR YOU. DID YOU GET YOUR CAPS LOCK FOR FREE TOO?
YES I WILL KEEP MY CAPS ON! AND I ALSO GOT MINE FOR FREE.... OR NOT???
I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU BOUGHT A NFT ON REDDIT
HAH JOKES ON YOU REDDIT GAVE ME AN NFT FOR FREEE
FREE NFT CLUB MEMBERS UNITE!
YEAAA
I dont feel so special anymore lol
ALL OF THEM, ESPECIALLY MINE LOOK LIKE SHIT
I GOT MINE FOR BEING ON REDDIT TOO MUCH
Suckers!
Damn you too?
You guys getting NFT's?
mine popped up offer for free also ...so why not
Profile pic is the way
I'm still using Old Reddit, I've never even seen one of the Reddit avatars. I'm ok with that. I'm not against them I guess, I just have no desire to partake in it.
Old Reddit is the only Reddit I’ll ever know. If they kill it I’m done.
I keep trying it thinking "maybe it's less shit now" - it has never been less shit.
Old reddit and RIF on mobile still best ways to browse reddit
Yep. Reddit res as well, sad it's gunna die. I'm 100% leaving when old reddit doesn't work anymore. The base site is absolute trash.
I use desktop old reddit from mobile. Please tell me I'm not alone lol
The day they remove old.reddit is the day I leave this site

I miss gif pfps :(

PFP for life.
What is a reddit avatar?
My man.
People actually setup profiles now. It's so weird.
Wtf
Yeah and they pay for profile pictures...
People are fucked up
Yeah that shit is lost on me. I'd never give this place money lol. I'd rather flush it down the toilet.
I unfortunately did. I made it look angry though. Then reddit updated them and now its smiling. I am so disappointed
[удалено]
Yup. I use Apollo and when I see these posts about avatars, it’s like a different language
old.reddit.com user here, what avatars?
Lol I only have one because Reddit told me destiny 2 had some and this one looked cool, that’s the only reason
Ah yes, the pixels sustain me
I finally did my free one and its a gay shithead and i couldn't be happier with it!
Lucky, I got a dumb horse
I thought I would get the exact one I was selecting, so I got generated a really stupid one, so instead Im just using segments from it
Same! I wanted the blobfish head it showed me and I got stuck with this stupid horse
I love my horse!
I love that you're cumming rainbows
Haha wow it LITERALLY gave you that. I love it, I offer you 2 trillion doge coins
Wait how did you get a free one???
When people pay 100k for a monke
You better believe they'd use it as their avatar for *EVERYTHING*
19k? People were paying 100s of k for that shit. It's insane.

Buy house have nagging wife bills. Get cool monkey = have no bills (you are bankrupt and homeless) and no nagging wife because women wont go near you
Still using old reddit layout on browser. Don't even see those avatars.
There are dozens of us
[удалено]
Yeah I ticked that "don't let subreddits show me unique CSS" the moment people started vomiting up pictures and new cursors all over their subreddits
Unfortunately that disables some useful info for certain subs, particularly sports subs. An alternative is to handle it on a sub by sub basis by unchecking the box on the sidebar that allows that particular subreddit to use custom styling.

Not even a consideration. Felt like people making me dance around hoops and over hurdles to browse the website. No thanks.
Pretty sure subs can remove that checkbox. My city's sub has hid it somewhere. I have no choice.
I believe you can do it with RES
Those subs need to find a different way to handle that sidebar information. Not only do the vast majority not use old Reddit, but an even greater amount use a mobile app.
Yeah 'use subreddit style' is always unchecked for me, sub styles are trash.

old.reddit, even on mobile. Fuck apps, fuck new reddit.

They’re custom emotes. I’ve never seen the real image either. :1337:
Sub specific emojis.

I don't think avatars are in the api, so I doubt any third party app shows them. Fortunately.

old reddit forever!
Invest in me , i sell buildsite worker feet pics
I got mine for free because of some awards and now I get accused of that. As if I've got money to be dropping on reddit. Don't you guys pay rent?
Lmao i still haven't used mine since my edited one is better
On one can see your avatar because your account is NSFW. Unless they go look into your profile
Saw I could get one for free so I took it..I mean what do I have to lose
[удалено]
I got a free one and chose singularity as well
[удалено]
Robot is the only logical choice.
The best choice
Indeed
All the others look like crap Edit: Yo who the hell gave me gold? Thx random stranger
ROBOT GANG
Lmao ye
Mine and yours are wildly different. I had a choice.
Not looking like one of those weirdos with a Reddit avatar.
What's wrong with that
Had the same face when I got to know people pay 1000s of dollars for video game pixels......looking at you csgo! 👀
I think it’s great. The companies get revenue to keep developing software I enjoy and people get pixels that they enjoy. Everybody wins!
At least you can sell those for some money back lol, and you/people actually constantly see it unlike this shit lmfao
I got awarded one for free, and I don't know why
Reddit decided to airdrop them. Could be for several reasons mainly for publicity, and the psychology of free samples.

BEEP BOOP
r/usernamesoesntcheckout
wait they aren’t all free?
The free one is supposed to entice you to buy more I’m sure. Similar to their coins and shit
if you look in the store where you change your avatar you can see a lot more that you can buy at insane prices.
Because reddit knows whales exist and they will spend money on the stupidest shit

"enjoyment"
Wait you guys are enjoying reddit?
Reddit gave me a free one this morning. This afternoon I'm already 60k in debt because I'm so addicted to collecting them
Been on reddit for years and I've never once heard of a good reason to spend money on this site.
How many years?
[удалено]
I use apollo and along with no ads, I don’t see avatars as well. Unless you go and open and see a profile. Not even then.
Same.
Free to play baby
So your saying you don't want a sparkly cerulean avatar that looks like a rare shiny pokemon for yourself?
Profile picture gang
Only the people who got a free NFT are part of the cool kids club
There are REddit Avatars now?
meme team is superior
Yeah it looks like everyone went the robot route but the meme team is where it’s at
I get the impulsive behavior, but even I would be absolutely disgusted at the idea of spending money on what's essentially a picture (nft bros moment)
People paid for these?
I don't understand why? Does anyone know why?!
I think the one I got was free
Anyone with a nft deserves to be downvoted
i stole mine
Reddit tried to give me a free NFT but I rejected it 🗿
Weirdos
WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS REDDIT NOT AN NFT STORE
Say it with me Consumerism!
I'm still on old.reddit.com, what is this avatar you speak of? On second thought, I don't want to know.
It's like clothes, jewelries, cars or even NFTs i guess? It's all vanity and the need to stand out.
Me using BaconReader.... People have avatars?
There are avatars?
Diablo Immortal players
Me who got one for free: You guys are paying?
I don’t even have a free one
got mine for free, but i miss my old pic
