    I also got one. I have a little bit of money sitting in a brokerage holding account, and I was already thinking of buying a single share as a joke (so I had the option to heckle them “as an investor in the company”). But I wouldn’t do it via their stupid IPO insider process. That requires the buyer to share some PII with reddit. And I don’t trust them as far as I could throw them.
