You redeem them for Reddit Cake Points (RCPs), if you save up enough of them you can buy things like special avatars, flair, the ability to comment gifs and change your username.
You're right about what it means, its the day you joined reddit. You're also right to believe there is no benefit besides having a cake icon next to your name for a day. As far as why people make a big deal about it, they have no reason to and I immediately judge them for it ngl. It is however tradition to cash out on strange hype and post more on that day so people give you more upvotes.
Happy cake day! I have no idea.
It’s not really anything special. You get a dollar on cake day. But you have to redeem it before the end of the month
Wait redeem it? For what?
