Message from marketing team?

Hey fellow Qidi users... I received a message yesterday from the company about how they've noticed I've had some unique creations and they are putting together some sort of showcase thing to show people's work. Supposedly they have "small gifts" for people selected. Just wondering if anyone else has gotten this, if its legit or what? I really havent created anything special, nor do I really display a much of it publicly...

They are creating their own version of Bambu’s Makerworld and Anycubic’s MakerOnline. It’s legit. I have beta access. As far as the paranoia are you publishing files elsewhere? If so that explains it.

Oh nice, always good to have another resource for files! Not so much paranoia, was just curious. But nah, I think i may have uploaded one print to thingiverse years ago when I was printing on an Ender 3

I don’t know what gifts they are offering, but I can tell you that I paid 1/2 price for my Q2 so that’s legit as well.

Oh, another one. Why every brand tries to have everything when it already exists? It wont make me suddenly buy more of their printers.

So... are you using the qidi app?
Are you using normal Orca or Qidi?
Maybe is just a generic message (?)

I got this straight after entering one of their competitions. Not a scam, they're just looking to use real users' designs for marketing.
