They sent me an offer. I ain't buying
There have been quite a few comments like yours here. Is everyone on Lemmy a former 'power user'. That would be great.
In another thread a former mod said that both they and their bot had been given the offer.
Someone replied to me in another thread and said that they were giving invites out in stages based on number of mod actions or karma. The first cutoff was "only" 200k karma. The lowest was 20k.
I was thinking of signing up just to see the information but then I read the prospectus and realized it was a losing investment, plain and simple.
I apparently must be as I got one as well.
Last I checked my account was in the top 1% of karma.
lol yeah century club with a 16 year old account here. I got nothing.
I just got one 7 hours ago.
15,955 post karma 166,632 comment karma
13 years and a few gildings over the years. Plus I was an alien blue user who got a bunch of years of gold before Reddit’s first app kill off.
I found it this morning. I don’t read reddit but never closed the tab and there was a noid. I read it, laughed, and moved on with my day.
I haven’t looked at my account in a few months and decided to go look just to see if I had an invite.
They must be getting more desperate s they move down the list.
That certainly has to do with account age, though that’s a strange metric to choose.
I had two accounts over the years that I’ve gotten to higher tier levels.
It was honestly pretty easy back in the day. There were a couple of topics that I could pretty consistently get 5k+ karma from. Large subs with well known view points. Play into those and you take in massive amounts of karma.
my old account before it got banned was well over 500k. I'd been on since 2013. yeah, most of us are power users I think.
I certainly never considered myself a "power user," but I got an invite despite not using reddit since mid-June last year.
I have around 700k comment karma
I got one with 10k karma and 133k comment karma. Of course, most of my karma is from talking about cartoons, so I'm not sure that really makes me the kind of "power user" that would spend money on this.
I got it via email. Reported it as spam. 🤣
