I receiced one of those special offer emails to buy stocks on Monday. Weren’t those supposed to go only to power users? I haven’t done anything with my account since the API debacle and wasn’t a power user before.
I feel like their rug pull before the ipo doesn’t work that good. I hope the gme bros will short reddit to the ground, that would be the best end to Reddit I can imagine. Fuck spez.
I was a semi-power user before leaving (13k link karma, 134k comments) and also received the IPO offer per email and per notification. I reported the notification as spam :)
It’s so obvious that they want to squeeze some money out before everything goes down the drain.
I got it as well. My accounts were banned… and then all the sudden an IPO comes along and the are unsuspended… i went back in and redacted my accounts that got the email.
Your comment made me go back and check, and I definitely got unbanned at some point. I was site-banned for mass edit>deleting my comments on all my accounts during the API evacuation. One sub saw me doing it, and banned that first account. Whatever, no big loss cuz I’m scorching things on my way out the door anyways. When I did the same with the second account, both accounts were banned site-wide for ban evasion, (because that second account also had comments on that same sub.) And that same pattern happened with every account I had.
But now they’re all unbanned. I wonder if Reddit went back and unbanned old accounts, to try and boost their user numbers prior to the IPO.

I got it on an email address linked to an account that was banned in 2020.

Same here. I don’t even live in the states.

Yes, also to fluff up the dataset for the AI sale.
