With the way Spez keeps trying to gamify Reddit, it’s starting to feel like he’s trying to make a super corporate remake of OMGPop/I’m In Like With You, for those who happen to remember that short-lived social/gaming platform. The addition of all sorts of new currencies on Reddit and stupid things to spend them on, and the more interactive things they’ve been doing like leaning more heavily into /r/place, all make me suspect that they’re going to try to make Reddit into a sort of gaming hub with a vague social media aspect to it.

I wanted OMGPop to make a comeback, but this isn’t how I wanted it. :(
