Reddit (RDDT) stock & equity tools

Reddit is an American proprietary social news aggregation and forum social media platform. Registered users submit content to the site such as links, text posts, images, and videos, which are then voted up or down 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 subreddit-specific moderators, who are unpaid volunteers. It is operated by Reddit, Inc., based in San Francisco.

Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian launched Reddit from Y Combinator's inaugural 2005 batch, with Aaron Swartz joining months later via the Infogami merger. Conde Nast bought the site in 2006 for roughly $10-20M, then parent Advance Publications spun it back out as an independent subsidiary in 2011. Headquartered in San Francisco, the company runs community-driven discussion forums and licenses its conversation archive to Google and OpenAI for AI training. Reddit went public on NYSE in March 2024 under ticker RDDT. Daily active uniques hit 121.4M and weekly actives reached 471M by 2025.
