Why give money via awards to the website you’re protesting against?
loads of people collect them over the years for free
I thought you had to spend them within 24 hours
When they had free awards, you could only give one every 24 hours.
The awards that are "paid for" using reddit coins, you can buy those any time. And some of the awards also gift the awardee coins in addition to the award. So even if you never actually have money to reddit, you could still end up with reddit coins. And what better use for them than to highlight the protests?
I didn't gave anyone an award, but i got a shitton of coins for only downloading and logging in with the official Reddit app 5-6 years ago.
