Wow. The support we have received over the past few days has been astounding. It all started with a TIL post that spread across the site. In response, people contributed by gilding, purchasing reddit gold subscriptions, cross posting and making positive comments all over. From the entire reddit team, thank you for all the support.

You are contributing directly to reddit’s sustainability and financial health. It has been incredibly exciting to watch the reddit community support us so strongly, and has validated our passion and commitment to keep the site running full speed ahead. Since many people requested a way to see how gold is doing, we have developed a daily gold goal thermometer that you should be seeing on the site shortly. Needless to say, you have all far exceeded our daily gold goals over the past few days.

The numbers show how impressive your support was. From Thursday to early this morning, you bought 568 YEARS of reddit gold and 822 individual months of gold.
What impressed us even more was your generosity to other redditors. 1,536 redditors bought 2,568 months of gold for others across several threads in multiple subreddits. A redditor even offered to cover an accidental overdraft fee that came from gilding.

Don't forget that buying reddit gold isn't the only way to support reddit. The redditgifts marketplace has over 220 merchants with items for sale. Additionally, we're announcing a sale this weekend only as a gesture of our thanks. While supplies last, all reddit t-shirts are 25% off in the marketplace. If you have reddit gold, they are 40% off. Please make sure you’re logged into your reddit account with gold to take advantage of the additional discount.
Advertising is another way to support reddit. Recent changes to the self-serve advertising system have made it easier than ever to take out an ad. Whether you are launching a new company, or just want to tell the world about your new subreddit, the self-serve system is there for you.
We are also grateful to everyone who has turned off Adblock on reddit. While reddit is now whitelisted by Adblock for our ad policies, if you have installed Adblock previously you may still not be seeing reddit ads. If you can't afford gold or merch, please just keep contributing to the community by allowing ads, in addition to sharing your posts, comments and votes.
Once again, a giant thanks from the bottom of all of our hearts. We are humbled and inspired by all of you.
