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.

    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.

      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.

        What are the benefits of each tier?

            Just an FYI, that’s a bot, possibly either for a news site, some kind of valuation service, or for AI. Half hour old account that’s asking related questions and quoting the entire context of the question, and offering no actual input beyond that.
