I actually got an award as being in the top 1% of reddit karma earners for 2022.

In 2023 they banned me because I didn't buy stock when it was being introduced.

You'd think they'd want me there. Creating content. For free. I'm sure they thought I'd just create a new account. Nope. I just came here.

Weird thing is, I've had two main running jokes for years. One is being obsessed with corn. The other is calling George Clooney a smug bastard.

I had several mod accounts (smaller subs - I made new accounts for each one) and didn't buy any stock. Wasn't banned. Did they explicitly say this to you?

George Clooney really is a smug bastard.

I was also invited to participate in the IPO (in 2024) due to my “top tier” karma.

Didn’t get a ban for not participating but wouldn’t have given a shit if I did.
