Or something." -David Croach, Community Manager Quote "Okay, but will it make us more money?" -Yishan Wong, CEO http://blog.reddit.com/2013/04/reddit-buys-team-fortress-2.html Title: Re: Reddit+BTC Tip Bot+Team Fortress 2= Post by: Zangelbert Bingledack on April 01, 2013, 07:55:29 PM April Fool's!
But the fact that they mentioned microtransaction is suggestive. They must be noticing how Bitcointip is a zillion times cooler than reddit gold. I mean, to give someone reddit gold when you could've just as easily given them $3 is almost sadistic!
