  Although it doesn’t meet the definition of bribery it’s a similar concept. It’s trying to influence someone’s decision by personal gain rather than just what’s best for the company. DataDog used to do this (maybe they still do) where if you signed up for a trial they said you would get a 1 in 8 chance of getting an iPhone.

    for like the last 8 years they have promised a shirt if you send your first log. i think its ok if its low value (<$20). when its airpods pro level (>$200) then it seems desperate. that said, this is basically paying for some real time with serious customers. not the worst idea, just doesnt scale but who cares

      > this is basically paying for some real time with serious customers I believe the technical term for this when money changes hand is "kickback payment". This may be illegal and/or against organization policies, but difficult to monitor without self-reporting

  This is fine, its a standard enterprise marketing technique. Watch a webinar, get a gift card.
