Free reddit gold on a users' reddit birthday (self.ideasfortheadmins)

submitted ago by bakergo

It would be good to use reddit birthdays as something more than irrelevant post generators; Giving a free sample of reddit gold might win a few new subscribers each day, especially among redditors that are likely to keep using reddit (those who've used reddit for more than a year and are commenting)

The first hit is always free.

There is nothing that special about Reddit Gold.

There's nothing special about it, but people would undoubtably talk more about Reddit gold, and it might help generate new revenue for Reddit.

An additional consideration would be what happens to the data when the birthday is over, I'm guessing the same thing that happens when the subscription lapses.

I'm pretty sure anyone given Reddit Gold for a day wouldn't bother to subscribe if they already hadn't.

Maybe instead of a single day, give them 7 days; so they can appreciate it.

Like giving a child candy and taking it back after one bite.
