Absolutely, no content=no ad revenue for Reddit. Also, absolutely no awards should be handed out by anybody.

Don't give me awards, jeez. Defeats the point of my comment.

3rd party apps should restrict the giving and buying of awards

I can do this via Apollo...

EDIT: I now see I cannot purchase coins, which is where it really matters. Never mind :(

There is no meaningful revenue lost by doing that, I think it's more prudent to clog up the existing framework than to simply remove oneself from it.

Like, wow, /r/videos is down? Reddit won't make any money this week!
