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.

Fair enough, still feels like we are comparing nestle with your city's local chain of 7 minimarkets, sure I might have a few more acquaintances that use reddit but that is not 100% of them. I did a quick search from my phone, hope the sites is reliable and that I didn't fuck up anything

According to this reddit had just under 75 million daily active users in q3 2023 https://www.statista.com/statistics/1453149/reddit-quarterly-dau-by-region/

In the same q, Facebook had https://www.statista.com/statistics/346167/facebook-global-dau/ 2110

So reddit need to grow another order of magnitude for op statement that it is comparable to fb in its dominance to become remotely true. Ideally two orders of magnitude.

I get it, we have all spent too much time on reddit for years and feel like that's basically the whole of the internet but we are biased, there is a whole majority of people out there that don't even know that exists
