Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

I felt the move of making reddit silver a real award was a big shift. Newer users don't even get why reddit silver was a thing.

I do like the idea of optional visibility - awards certain;y don't have to be bloat/bad.

Reddit Silver being an award just completely stole all the magic out of it. It was a cute little memey way to show support and make fun of Reddit Golf and then it got turned into a way to put more money in Reddit's pocket :c

I remember Reddit Gold being controversial when it was new.
