Voting and Karma:
Instead of likes and hearts, Reddit’s social network runs on upvotes or downvotes. Voting on posts and comments increase or decrease the creator’s karma, and helps popular and relevant posts rise to the top, while filtering out low-quality or irrelevant posts.
While karma doesn’t directly impact your ability to use Reddit, more karma can increase posts’ visibility and help you get noticed. Some communities require karma to post or comment, which helps prevent spam or low-quality content.
Reddit Premium:
Purchase Reddit Premium to enjoy an ads-free experience and access to premium avatar gear, r/lounge, custom app icons, and more.
Payment will be charged on a recurring monthly or annual basis to your Google Play account. Your monthly or annual Premium subscription will automatically renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before your subscription ends. Cancel anytime in your device’s Account Settings. No partial refunds.

Reddit (/ˈrÉ›dɪt/) is an American social news aggregation, content rating, and forum social network. Registered users (commonly referred to as “Redditors”) submit content to the site such as links, text posts, images, and videos, which are then voted up or down (“upvoted” or “downvoted”) by other members. Posts are organized by subject into user-created boards called “subreddits”. Submissions with more upvotes appear towards the top of their subreddit and, if they receive enough upvotes, ultimately on the site’s front page. Reddit administrators moderate the communities. Moderation is also conducted by community-specific moderators, who are unpaid volunteers.[5] It is operated by Reddit, Inc., based in San Francisco.[6][7]As of October 2023, Reddit is the 18th most-visited website in the world. According to data provided by Similarweb, 48.98% of the website traffic comes from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom at 7.06% and Canada at 6.9%.[6]Reddit was founded by University of Virginia roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, as well as Aaron Swartz, in 2005. Condé Nast Publications acquired the site in October 2006. In 2011, Reddit became an independent subsidiary of Condé Nast’s parent company, Advance Publications.[8] In October 2014, Reddit raised $50 million in a funding round led by Sam Altman and including investors Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Ron Conway, Snoop Dogg, and Jared Leto.[9] Their investment valued the company at $500 million at the time.[10][11] In July 2017, Reddit raised $200 million for a $1.8 billion valuation, with Advance Publications remaining the majority stakeholder.[12] In February 2019, a $300 million funding round led by Tencent brought the company’s valuation to $3 billion.[13] In August 2021, a $700 million funding round led by Fidelity Investments raised that valuation to over $10 billion.[14] The company then reportedly filed for an IPO in December 2021 with a valuation of $15 billion.[15][16] Reddit debuted on the stock market on the morning of March 21, 2024 with the ticker symbol RDDT.[17] The current—July 2024—market cap is $10 billion.[18]Reddit has received praise for many of its features, such as the ability to create several subreddits for niche communities,[19][20] being a platform for raising publicity for numerous causes,[21] and has grown to be one of the most visited websites on the Internet.[22] It has also received criticism for spreading misinformation.[23]
Reddit History
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/1455marketstreet.jpg/220px-1455marketstreet.jpg)
The idea and initial development of Reddit originated with college roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in 2005, who attended a lecture by programmer-entrepreneur Paul Graham in Boston, Massachusetts, during their spring break from University of Virginia.[24][25][26] After speaking with Huffman and Ohanian following the lecture, Graham invited the two to apply to his startup incubator Y Combinator.[24] Their initial idea, My Mobile Menu, was unsuccessful,[27][28] and was intended to allow users to order food by SMS text messaging.[24][25] During a brainstorming session to pitch another startup, the idea was created for what Graham called the “front page of the Internet”.[28] For this idea, Huffman and Ohanian were accepted in Y Combinator’s first class.[24][25] Supported by the funding from Y Combinator,[29] Huffman coded the site in Common Lisp[30] and together with Ohanian launched Reddit in June 2005.[31][32] Embarrassed by an empty-looking site, the founders created hundreds of fake users for their posts to make it look more populated,[33] an example of a fake it till you make it strategy.
The team expanded to include Christopher Slowe in November 2005. Between November 2005 and January 2006, Reddit merged with Aaron Swartz‘s company Infogami, and Swartz became an equal owner of the resulting parent company, Not A Bug.[34][35] Swartz went on to help rewrite the software running Reddit using web.py, a web framework he developed. The passage from Aaron Swartz’s blog post “Rewriting Reddit”[36] reveals that the switch from Lisp to Python, specifically using the web.py framework developed by Swartz, was driven by a desire for simplicity, maintainability, and performance. Despite facing skepticism and critique from the Lisp community, the change was justified by the efficiency and clarity Python provided for the project. This initiative not only influenced the technical evolution of Reddit but also contributed to the broader web development community by inspiring other frameworks and remaining a significant part of Reddit’s history.[36] (In 2020, Ohanian claimed that rather than Swartz being a co-founder, the correct description would be that Swartz’s company was acquired by Reddit 6 months after he and Huffman had started.)[37]
Huffman and Ohanian sold Reddit to Condé Nast Publications, owner of Wired, on October 31, 2006, for a reported $10 million to $20 million[24][38] and the team moved to San Francisco.[38] In November 2006, Swartz blogged complaining about the new corporate environment, criticizing its level of productivity.[39] In January 2007, Swartz was fired for undisclosed reasons.[40]Huffman and Ohanian left Reddit in 2009.[41] Huffman went on to co-found Hipmunk with Adam Goldstein, and later recruited Ohanian[42] and Slowe to the new company.[43] After Huffman and Ohanian left Reddit, Erik Martin, who joined the company as a community manager in 2008 and later became general manager in 2011, played a role in Reddit’s growth.[44] VentureBeat noted that Martin was “responsible for keeping the site going” under Condé Nast’s ownership.[45] Martin facilitated the purchase of RedditGifts and led charity initiatives.[45]Reddit launched two different ways of advertising on the site in 2009. The company launched sponsored content[46] and a self-serve ads platform that year.[47][48] Reddit launched its Reddit Gold benefits program in July 2010, which offered new features to editors and created a new revenue stream for the business that did not rely on banner ads.[49] On September 6, 2011, Reddit became operationally independent of Condé Nast, operating as a separate subsidiary of its parent company, Advance Publications.[50] Reddit and other websites participated in a 12-hour sitewide blackout on January 18, 2012, in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act.[51][52] In May 2012, Reddit joined the Internet Defense League, a group formed to organize future protests.[53]
Yishan Wong joined Reddit as CEO in 2012.[54] Wong resigned from Reddit in 2014, citing disagreements about his proposal to move the company’s offices from San Francisco to nearby Daly City, but also the “stressful and draining” nature of the position.[55][56] Ohanian credited Wong with the company’s newfound success as its user base grew from 35 million to 174 million.[56] Wong oversaw the company as it raised $50 million in funding and spun off as an independent company.[47] Also during this time, Reddit began accepting the digital currency Bitcoin for its Reddit Gold subscription service through a partnership with bitcoin payment processor Coinbase in February 2013.[57] Ellen Pao replaced Wong as interim CEO in 2014 and resigned in 2015 amid a user revolt over the firing of a popular Reddit employee.[58] During her tenure, Reddit initiated an anti-harassment policy,[59] banned involuntary sexualization, and banned several forums that focused on bigoted content or harassment of individuals.[60]After five years away from the company, Ohanian and Huffman returned to leadership roles at Reddit: Ohanian became the full-time executive chairman in November 2014 following Wong’s resignation, while Pao’s departure on July 10, 2015, led to Huffman’s return as the company’s chief executive.[61][62] After Huffman rejoined Reddit as CEO, he launched Reddit’s iOS and Android apps, improved Reddit’s mobile website, and created A/B testing infrastructure.[24] The company launched a major redesign of its website in April 2018.[63] Huffman said new users were turned off from Reddit because it had looked like a “dystopian Craigslist”.[63] Reddit also instituted several technological improvements,[64] such as a new tool that allows users to hide posts, comments, and private messages from selected redditors in an attempt to curb online harassment,[65] and new content guidelines. These new content guidelines were aimed at banning content inciting violence and quarantining offensive material.[24][64] Slowe, the company’s first employee, rejoined Reddit in 2017 as chief technology officer.[66] Reddit’s largest round of funding came in 2017, when the company raised $200 million and was valued at $1.8 billion.[12] The funding supported Reddit’s site redesign and video efforts.[12]
On June 5, 2020, Ohanian resigned as a member of the board in response to the George Floyd protests and requested to be replaced “by a Black candidate”.[67] Michael Seibel, then-CEO of Y Combinator, was subsequently named to the board.[68]
On December 13, 2020, Reddit announced it had acquired short-form video social platform Dubsmash, hiring its entire team, with the intention of integrating its video creation tools into Reddit.[69]
On March 5, 2021, Reddit announced that it had appointed Drew Vollero, who has worked at Snapchat‘s parent company Snap (SNAP), as its first Chief Financial Officer weeks after the site was thrust into the spotlight due to its role in the GameStop trading frenzy. Vollero’s appointment spurred speculation of an initial public offering, a move that senior leaders have considered publicly.[70]
In December 2021, Reddit revealed that it had confidentially filed for an initial public offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.[71][72][73] In June 2022, Reddit acquired MeaningCloud, a natural language processing company.[74][75]
In September 2022, Reddit acquired Spiketrap for an undisclosed sum.[76]
In April 2023, Fidelity, the lead investor in Reddit’s funding round in 2021, devalued its investment in Reddit by 41% cumulatively. It was revealed in a monthly disclosure that Fidelity valued its stake at $16.6 million, down from its initial investment of $28.2 million which had valued the company at $10 billion.[77] This was followed by an announcement in June 2023 of plans to layoff 5% of Reddit’s workforce and to reduce the number of planned hires for the year.[78]
In June 2023, BlackCat hacker gang claimed responsibility for a February 2023 breach of Reddit’s systems. On their data leak site, they claimed that they stole 80 GB of compressed data and demanded a $4.5 million ransom from Reddit. This attack did not involve data encryption like typical ransomware campaigns.[79]
In February 2024, Reddit announced a partnership with Google in a deal worth about $60 million per year, to license its real-time user content to train Google’s AI model. The partnership also lets Reddit get access to Google’s “Vertex AI” service which would help improve search results on Reddit.[80][81]
In March 2024 it was announced that Reddit would target a valuation of up to $6.4 billion in its U.S. IPO. The platform intends to sell 22 million class A common shares at a price between $31 and $34 alongside some of its investors, looking to raise up to $748 million.[82]
Reddit’s initial public offering opened on March 20, 2024, at $34 per share and a $6.4 billion valuation.[83]Â They went public the next day on the New York Stock Exchange at $47 per share and rose to $50.44 at market close on its first day of trading, reaching a market cap of $9.5 billion.[84]
On May 16, 2024 it was announced that Reddit and OpenAI reached a deal that will allow the later access to the Reddit API to train its models, while the former will receive certain AI tools for moderators and users.[85]
