Reddit is ready for IPO, its CEO was paid 193 M last year

Does anyone use reddit here?

I have tried it. Way to sloppy and still can't figure out the way to get points to post, I Still don't get how it's so popular

I visit reddit everyday. Best forum that covers EVERYTHING.

Mostly I go to /startup, /wsb, /personalfinance, /investing, /diy

If Baron spend more time uplifiting this forum, instead of looking like the 90's old forum for old geezers, maybe it'll get more attention :D
 
76 million daily users can't be wrong. :)

Just don't use it on your phone... What surprising is, why they didn't IPO like 10 years ago?

Active users that are not paying can be a net drain, the infrastructure cost. It's not a lot for a basic bulletin board like Reddit but still. Most of these people would leave if you started forcing ads on them. Youtube did this and has blowback. Youtube is harder to replace as the video backend requires a lot of investment. Reddit meanwhile is fairly easily replaceable nowadays, it's mostly text and images.

I get banned for random things, I just use throwaway accounts but don't regularly visit. I notice a lot use throwaways as well, not good for the platform. It's really a random place online, nothing to lose if you do get banned. I mean Yahoo boards used to be hot stuff, so why not some bulletin board like Reddit.

I agree. I spend 10 times more time there than here. Subs for everything. Best live coverage of any breaking news from eyewitnesses. I remember the Boston bombings, people were posting from the same streets where the police were chasing one of the bombers. Finance, trading? They made a movie about it!!!

That doesn't mean they are going to make money, ever. It is fairly easy to replace.
 
I have been a member there for 12-14 years, I never see ads. Its value increased 1000 times between 2006 (original owners sold it for 10 M) and 2021.

Even the COO gets 93 M a year, you go girl! For comparison Tim Apple, I mean Cook gets paid $99 mil in 2022 and $63 mil in 2023. That’s on $383 billion in revenue in 2023.

Well, the actual salary is only 660K the rest was stock options.

Nineteen years after its founding, the social media network Reddit filed paperwork to go public on Thursday. “I have never been more excited about Reddit’s future than I am right now,” CEO Steve Huffman said in a letter announcing the news. Last year, the company generated $804 million in revenue, up more than 20 percent compared to 2022. Public filings also showed that Huffman and Reddit’s chief operating officer, Jennifer Wong, were paid $286 million in 2023, including stock and option awards (the value accrues over several years, and the current cash value is substantially lower). On average, over 76 million people visited the website each day in December, the company said. Huffman co-founded Reddit with his college roommate Alexis Ohanian, who is now married to Serena Williams; they sold the company for just $10 million in 2006. As of 2021, it was worth $10 billion. Huffman returned as CEO in 2015 and has been working to set the company up for an IPO. As one example of its financial prospects, news broke this week that Google will pay Reddit $60 million per year to use its content to train AI models.


Those salaries are ridiculous...this is why I would never invest in stocks...or buy an IPO just to give them another payday. IPOs are basically a way to short retail.

What do you mean by "uplifting this forum"?
