I got one, too, which is hilarious because not only was I not a “power user,” but I torched all of my comments and posts with Redacted 7 months ago and have not touched the site since. I even avoid it when it comes up in Google results for something I’m looking into.
But they still sent me one of these stupid IPO emails.
I mean, obviously there is no human oversight or thought process behind these whatsoever. We all knew that. Probably anyone who has an existing account and a positive karma score got one, and I’m not even sure the threshold is that high.
But I guess we’re all here doing their work for them anyway, because here we are talking about – even if it is to ridicule – and generating “buzz.” I’m sure that’s what they want, somehow.

They likely just sent it to anyone above a relatively low karma threshold desperate to get any sorry fool to buy their stock.
Seems like a smart strategy would be to especially send it to those with a low karma threshold
I did exactly the same thing lmao
