Reddit Is Letting Power Users In on Its IPO. Not Everyone’s Buying::Reddit says it wants to reward users by letting them buy into the company’s public listing. Some say it’s too risky—others say they won’t pay a company they’ve already given hours of free labor to.

What's your approx upvote count if you don't mind me asking? I wonder what their criteria is.

[–] kraftpudding 9 points 10 months ago (4 children)

8 y.o. account, 23k post karma, 64k comment karma. So, not that much. Sadly can't tell you over how many posts/comments, because the API Tools that used to count that all are dead. Obviously.

Interesting. I haven't received anything and I've had my account for about the same amount of time but have 100k karma. Most of mine is also comment karma.

I have over 100k comment karma (and much less post) and got an invite. It's meaningless anyway as I am not a US citizen.

Oh, for me too, I still find it interesting

I got one a week ago.

I did some digging on who gets what when and over the course of about a week and a half they have three tiers.

I think the first was 200K+, then I think 50K+, and then 10K+ off the top of my head.

Thank you!

It looks like everyone big in crypto scam and market manipulation have such qualities. Most of them are alt right and Musk fans so it is easy to spot them.

Huh?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Say a negative thing about Brave or any of alt right hate campaigns against anyone who likes diversity. They will keep down voting whatever you post/comment and insane things happen. E.g. 2 comments supporting the same idea in the same post scoring +20 and -20. The best thing to do against is not to be there at the first place. People who think they are highly technical, nerd, bright or have elite taste shouldn't work for Spez, for free.

Are you a mod of something? Might be related to that, cause I got an invite too and the only thing I can think of is I have moderation activity.

[–] chiliedogg 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He's damn close to tier 2. With some of the behind-the-scenes Karma balancing stuff he may be at 100,000 total.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah they just started tier 2. I got an invite and I've abandoned all my accounts.

[–] kraftpudding 1 points 10 months ago

Nope
