      From memory all those were performing well, getting load of attention and be used by “everyone” at the time of their ipo. Particularly google was THE search engine and Facebook was THE social media site.

      Reddit has been around forever, most of us left, what does it really have to offer? Keeping in mind that llms have had access to all that data for s long time, I can’t imagine the last 8 months or so of reddit data to be that significant.

      Usually companies go public because they have an aggressive plan that requires growth and a massive cash injection. What is spez’s plan if he gets that? I’ll admit I haven’t really followed much, but I doubt reddit had this huge potential. And that’s even if they didn’t alienate their users and nods.

      Reminds me those pet food companies going public in the late 90s during the internet bubble.
