About Reddit
Reddit builds a social news and discussion platform organized into user-created forums (“subreddits”) for consumers, creators, and communities. It monetizes primarily through advertising tools for brands and self-serve advertisers, plus a Premium subscription; developers can access data via its API. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in San Francisco, Reddit became a public company on the NYSE in 2024 and hosts over 100,000 active communities.
