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.

Reddit Is Letting Power Users In on Its IPO. Not Everyone’s Buying::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.

I wonder what’s considered a power user. Because I got one, and I wouldn’t have considered myself one…

It’s based on Karma or mod actions and the invites are going out in waves. I’ve taken a screenshot from reddit’s faq page regarding the program that shows the tiers.

Hm, 25k karma is not what I’d call a power user, but ok. Thanks for sharing.

They’ll only invite people at that level if nobody buys at the higher tiers.

Oh, that makes more sense

Imagine being in /r/centuryclub but still not being cool enough to get into the real exclusive club - Group 1 reddit IPO.

I got one, and though I’ve accumulated a bunch of karma, I haven’t been regularly active for months.
