      Maybe it covered their costs for old school reddit pre built in image/video hosting when it was essentially just text and thumbnails?

      Now that they’re no longer relying on imgur (which is doing it’s own thing) they have to host their own images which is EXPENSIVE.

        In other words, they digg their own grave.

      I think it used to say on people’s profiles something like “This user’s gold has paid for x hours of server time”
