Reddit is a social news and entertainment website where registered users submit content in the form of either a link or a text ("self") post. Other users then vote the submission "up" or "down", which is used to rank the post and determine its position on the site's pages and front page. Submissions with more up-votes appear towards the top of their subreddit and, if they receive enough up-votes, ultimately on the site's front page. Despite strict rules prohibiting harassment, Reddit's administrators spend considerable resources on moderating the site. As of June 2015, there were 36 million user accounts. 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. Their investment valued the company at $500 million then. In July 2017, Reddit raised $200 million for a $1.8 billion valuation, with $150 million of that from Andreessen Horowitz and $50 million from Sequoia Capital. Reddit is now worth $3 billion. In 2017, the company was ranked #12 on the Forbes Cloud 100 list. In February 2014, Reddit announced that it would donate 10% of its annual ad revenue to non-profits voted upon by its users. The largest amount of money donated to a single cause was $50,000 to the Wikimedia Foundation in May 2014. As of April 2018, Reddit operates as an independent entity, although it has close ties with parent company Conde Nast, which provides financial support. Reddit is based in San Francisco, California. As of April 2018, Reddit had 542 million monthly visitors (234 million unique users), ranking #11 in the United States and #25 in the world. Across 2015, Reddit saw 82.54 billion pageviews, 73.15 million submissions, 725.85 million comments, and 6.89 billion upvotes from its users.
Many people are concerned about the recent news that Reddit has bought a traffic service. This could mean that Reddit is becoming more commercialized, and that users may start to see more ads and sponsored content. However, it is also possible that Reddit is simply trying to improve its service for users by making it easier for them to find content that they are interested in. Only time will tell what the true impact of this decision will be.
