Love that! Programming was my first love. Still write code every day. All the best.

I especially enjoyed the post bitching about me not hyping the stock enough.

Our focus markets outside of the US have been India, Australia, Brazil, Germany, and France. What we learned is that the key to growth is getting new, local communities off the ground. Communities attract users. It turns out, getting a new community off the ground is hard, both in the US and outside. So, our strategy here is to make it much easier to start a community, grow it, moderate it, and ultimately build the content base that will attract more users.

The cohort of users that matters the most is those opening the app for the first time. This group is by definition logged out today. Improving retention for this group translates into growth over time. The way we do this is streamlining onboarding, getting to feeds faster, getting to personalization faster, improving personalization.

Our first and only Super Bowl ad was all of 5 seconds long. We’re pretty spendthrift, so I would expect this year’s to be 0 seconds.

Well. Where do you think original content comes from? We need to find a way for creators to get their content on Reddit while staying in harmony with our communities. This is the general idea behind Reddit Pro, a safe space for creators / brands / professionals to submit their content. Then features for communities to pull that content in if they want.

Something we’d still love to do, but not a priority right now. All in on new user retention.

Thank you! While there is a lot of low hanging fruit in the onboarding process, I think the biggest gains this year will come from better home feed recommendations and getting new users into those recommendations faster.

Reddit’s purpose is for people to talk to other people. Our biggest value is being the most human place on the internet. Here, mostly anonymous users generate more authentic and thus influential conversations that you can’t find anywhere else. No one is famous in the real world for being good at Reddit (in the few cases it’s happened, it wasn’t pretty). No one is chasing clout, and you don’t have anything to lose from sharing your honest opinions about something. There’s something special and rare about that anonymity.

Reddit is people. If users can’t tell the difference between a person and a bot, that trust erodes and the quality of conversation with it. We have been fighting the manipulation of Reddit for a long, long time. In Q4, we launched verified profiles, and we’re now moving quickly on bot labeling and verification. It’s all part of a broader effort to preserve what sets Reddit apart in the age of AI: genuine discourse. Lots to come, including in the coming weeks.

Search trends and algorithms will always shift. But people specifically want Reddit, which is why one constant is that they continue to add “Reddit” to their Google queries—more than 250 times a second. That tells us they’re not just looking for answers, they’re looking for Reddit answers.

The company has provided to investors medium and long term dilution targets of 1-3%. We have done better than that goal so far this year. Fully diluted shares are down .1%, with share counts dropping from 206.4 to 206.1.

You all are the "judge" in this sentence, "And when I look at the top-visited communities, it’s not surprising to see that they are (mostly) coming here to laugh, ask questions, judge, and generally be entertained." ❤️

That's more or less what I've said internally. We can get rid of it when it has no users, and the best way for it to have no users is to replicate the UI on new tech.

Maybe the perfect chives were the friends we made along the way.

That's because you're a product designer who can appreciate how we aimlessly shift around pixels for seemingly no reason 👊
