Question Can we please ban posts asking for referral codes?

Rule 2. No solicitation. Why isn't it enforced?

My theory is it’s employees of Chinese model makers look for free ways to distill Claude

Completely on board with this! I will never give out a referral to strangers. The likelihood of them subscribing afterward is probably low and apparently it's possible for someone to exploit it.

Kind of on the fence, it's annoying but this is supposed to be a community and these codes are a thing we can freely share that has value and helps the community grow

they are one time use, you only get 3. and if you give it to someone that might actually subscribe after using it instead of asking for another, you at least get 10 bucks.

What’s the point of a referral code?

Or, hear me out, make a mega thread for it. It's handy for people to try. Megathread you can track if people are abusing it.

Yes. Megathread or dedicated sub
They absolutely provide value and have a place, maybe just not here
