“Yea I’m not buying. But I will be watching it tank.”

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.

Reddit has a near-monopoly on forum communities. It is ranked 16 on similarweb and no other competitor comes even close in terms of community size. It’s like Facebook in its dominance.

Is it though? Everyone I know aged 20 to 85 i on Facebook, some more active than others. I think I know 3 people irl that use reddit. Mind you I’m not in the US, where is more prevalent but most people I know have barely heard of reddit.

Sure, it has near monopoly on forum communities but that’s a tiny niche on the internet

Your first sentence suggests you’re disagreeing, but nothing you said after that is incompatible with anything gp said.

They are saying it’s like Facebook in its dominance, I’m saying it’s not like Facebook, clearer now or you want me to come over with a whiteboard?
