Great piece of marketing to have someone write the article, have people talk about it mistakenly as an actual Forbes article and drive interest in the stock that will make many clueless individuals suddenly have an interest in Reddit Stock.
News is news .... any news whether good or bad, especially if it is controversial and agitates people, is good news for the company pushing their name.
Chances are .... it was Reddit company marketers that set up this article to be featured on the Forbes website to drive attention to their company and their upcoming IPO.
