        I found it this morning. I don’t read reddit but never closed the tab and there was a noid. I read it, laughed, and moved on with my day.

          I haven’t looked at my account in a few months and decided to go look just to see if I had an invite.

          They must be getting more desperate s they move down the list.

            That certainly has to do with account age, though that’s a strange metric to choose.
