you’re invited to a special program that lets redditors purchase stock

I loaded a page on reddit due to a search result and found out that I’m among the chosen few. Message sent yesterday. They must’ve gotten fewer takers than expected on the first round of invites if they’re now offering shares to people who haven’t posted, commented, voted, or done anything else on the site for the past 8 months.

    This round was anyone with more than 25K karma. I haven’t touched my account since the API fiasco last year and I got the email too.

      one time I was trying to see how good I am at gaming the system, and scored 25k in two days with a throwaway account and a bunch of strategically placed comments, and I know there are people even better at it than I am. looks like they’re getting desperate.

      I don’t really know what the fuck they expected, when they announced the ipo and then disclosed “Oh btw we don’t make any money and never have, also our users can literally shut our entire site down at a moment’s notice”

        There’s that and the fact that almost every time Reddit is mentioned in the news now it’s about them actively trying to drive away users with idiotic new “features” lol

      I wouldn’t have thought they’d be rare, except that I didn’t get one until now. They don’t have my email address though, perhaps that’s why.
