6 billion seems REAL high

But reddit, like twitter, has demonstrated it is a brand/service (just service in the case of xitter) that people are addicted to and will not quit. And stuff like AMAs and astroturfing demonstrate it has a lot of marketability.

Combine that with it being a treasure trove for LLM training and I could easily see it pulling 2-4 billion. More if the FOMO model works out for them and they have /r/wallstreetbets do another "the greatest act of democracy in all of human history" or whatever the tagline for rich people to convince idiots to help them manipulate stock prices.

So it would be less about buying a product to keep for a long time and more about something to exploit for a few years and throw it away.

ended up clicking a reddit link the other day and saw DMs about reddit stock. Reported them for scamming and blocked the admins that sent it.

literally pointless but it felt good anyway.

So they're only trying to sell 11.7% of their total stock? Is that normal?
