Are donation award descriptions sincere or randomly generated - st0nedpr0grammer - Aug 17, 2016
Question mark
Are they or are they not
question mark
Because I think I cracked the algorithm Omni uses to generate award descriptions

They're not random -- Omni tends to write them himself, though that doesn't necessarily imply sincerity.

What if I told you I cracked the algorithm Omni uses to make you think they're sincere?

Do you mind sharing? I think they are genuine because there are a lot which he copy and pastes but for some awards he actually writes a message catered to the user.

Earned awards are usually sincere because they're scarce
Low valued donator awards are usually canned because they're plentiful
High valued donator awards are usually sincere and written out by Omniscient for obvious reasons
But Omniscient appreciates all donations :-)

A lot of the donation awards I've seen have been C&P. The older donation awards from like 2013-2014 he use to write his own description though

Even grand amethyst is literally just "Grand is your heart and HF owes you a grand thanks" or whatever. Only ones that get a custom reason are those omni adds manually rather than through the purchase platform

Yeah, I got a custom reason because I didn't go through the automatic system. Same for others with multiple/many awards.

All of the ones through the automatic system are canned I believe but awards that are not from donations are always custom reasons.
I wish I could get a random award one day.

Would be interested to see it, considering the clover thread I just got off of :P

Gotta catch'em all, huh? 🤗 🎉

Unsure what the big deal is. I used to have 100% manually written awards descriptions until I automated it then I added canned descriptions. So everyone gets the same description now. I send an PM to thank each donating member written by me personally. Normally it's short and simple but it is hand-written and not an automated canned response.
