At the beginning of July, Reddit announced a foray into the NFT world through the introduction of Collectible Avatars: custom avatar profile pictures and effects that appeared next to users’ accounts when they make comments. But after only a month the company appears to be shifting gears, signaling its new venture is off to a slower start than expected.
A new set of four avatars dubbed “Aww Friends,” “Drip Squad,” “Meme Team,” and “The Singularity,” will be given away for free to some of the most active users on the platform. Those with the appropriate amount of karma points (Reddit’s karma score totals users’ amount of upvotes against their downvotes) will be able to choose from the aforementioned options and receive them via AirDrop.
