What has been your involvement with Reddit as a user so far? I'm trying to understand what users are getting those offers.

I received the offer on my 16 year old Reddit account, but not on another account I have that's more like 12. Not sure if they went by account age or activity or what.

I did not try to get in on the IPO (or pre-IPO.)

Yeah I got an offer on my account, too. I’m starting to feel like they’re profiling.

If they're profiling then they're bad at it. They offered it to me despite being a US-resident-only offer - which I am not.

I can only imagine that they're offering it to me because my account is like 15 years old.. Either that, or I have about 200k post karma and 100k comment karma. (Not big numbers compared to karma whores, but still more than your average user).

I got an offer. I was a user since 2012, I think? Definitely not a top poster or anything.

Ignored it, of course.
