Overview

Reddit is an American social platform founded in 2005 and organised into hundreds of thousands of user-created communities known as subreddits. Members post links, text, images and video, and the community ranks each submission through upvotes and downvotes, which decides what surfaces on the front page and inside each community. Headquartered in San Francisco and listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2024, the company earns most of its revenue from advertising and has added data licensing deals that let AI developers train on its public conversation archive.
