What even was the point of lounge? I’ve been gifted gold and platinum several times and never really cared about posting there.
Also unrelated but this reminds me of one time somebody faked dying of cancer to get gold. Like “I only have a month to live and I’ve never got gold” lmao
I’ve been gifted gold twice and I never understood the appeal of it either, everything in there was self-referential both times I checked.
I used to consider it a way to highlight a comment that I thought others should see. I have no idea if it holds the same power now, since gold, platinum, and a million other little “award badges” are now available. Yet once upon a time, seeing a gold icon next to a comment seemed to draw people’s attention. If a comment got gilded early, you’d see a huge difference in upvotes and replies for that particular comment.
