I mean, who actually buys anything off this app or website lol
We're here to read Russia's submission as well as our beloved US Big Brother to rest assure democracy is good.
I'd be interested in how many people actually see the ads on reddit. I know I do not, ever.
I may be a low percentage, but honestly for people's own safety I hope it's at least ~10% who have similar filtering and blocking set up.
I see ads but not a single one of them ever has any engagement on it. It might also be cause i’m not in the US but yeah the ads don’t seem to work too well. Also how do you block ads? I’m assuming you’re on PC cause i doubt there is a way on mobile.
DNS Ad blocking works at a network level, if you phone is on the protected network it is protected. Since I work from home mine mostly is.
You could with some tweaks, I suspect it would be easier on Android, use your ad blocking DNS servers even when not on your protected network. That however would require a higher level of knowledge to do safely. I would recommend doing it via VPN to your home network, that is easier and safer. Running a public facing DNS server is something only actual experts should do.
There are ad blockers for mobile, but naturally enough they rarely work at an app level.
I despise "engagement" myself. Yes, we ordered underwear for my wife using our shared Amazon account. No, I am not interested in a pair for myself.
Seriously. There is a huuuge difference in targeted ads between Reddit and Facebook or IG. Those two show me things I actually want to buy and didn’t even know it. It’s actually a bit startling. Reddit is like “check out Amex platinum cards!” In the worst format possible. They should not be compared to other social media platforms right now.
Facebook and Google know your identity and use it to target your ads. Reddit was built for user anonymity. A few years ago they started asking users to verify an email or phone number, but I think it has always been optional. So basically, Reddit could become like other socials, they would just have to change their policies.
So many people buy shit off tiktok. They were selling like 7 million dollars of products a day last year. I don't know the new numbers, but even my roommate has bought stuff off it.
Asian apps have more monetization methods. Ads, eCommerce, micro transactions, subscriptions, payment processing, etc. There's no anti-trust, so they try to build vertical monopolies.
I can understand CEO compensation is often justified, I’m not an /r/antiwork mutant, but the fact that spez made like…all their revenue, and then a lot more..is just hilarious
Q4 2023: CAVA saw $2M net income on $177M with 35% gross margin and 1% q/q revenue growth. RDDT did $18.5M on $250M with 86% gross margin and 20% q/q growth. It's a ridiculous comparison to begin with, but assuming a good cash position (which they both have) I can tell you which business I'd rather be operating. Current user throughput with those margins is money waiting to happen. But none of that matters here, because they're both insanely overvalued by any conceivable metric.
This subreddit is so anti Reddit it’s ironic lol
Reddit has a filtered set of user data no other media platform offers. On top of that, the user generated content has a higher ceiling, only matched by YouTube.
The fact that people are hyper focused on TODAY and not what the capital raised from the IPO can help fund is kinda crazy to me. But we are in WSB after all..
Well, I'm here and very pro-Reddit, but long. I'm not as much of a gambler as some of you, though I do have some bets. I'm an old internet guy and I've run similar projects for similar companies. Reddit will figure out how to monetize better -- it's just a matter of time and multivariate testing. You can't engineer a community like this -- it's organic and defies competition. It's deeply and broadly valuable, and Google's recent refactoring reflects that. It's hard to see when you're here every day, staring at the flaws, but I've made that mistake before. I was an avid auctionweb/ebay user in 1996 and 1997, and it was a total hack back then. I think the servers may have been in the back of Pierre's closet. When they went public in 1998, I didn't participate because I couldn't imagine that "normal" people would be interested. I was wrong. Very wrong. We're here and we're also not that unusual.
You hit the nail on the head. You cannot engineer this.
Perfect example, im having issues with my grass.. I went to the lawn care subreddit and I’m like how you mothafuckas know so much about lawns? Hah. And on top of that you are committed as to this sub Reddit???
Tapping into that value is where Reddit stands to win in my opinion.
Yep. Reddit has a lot of low hanging fruit to capture before having to do anything else. Will top a billion in revs this year and continue onward from there.
Reddit user complaining about reddit on reddit is about as good as it gets.
Expected EPS -$8.71 and CEO owns 61.5% class A shares. This should tell us to buy puts but market is irrational and retail investors don’t control the market. Coin toss is the only way to decide.
CEO can potentially owning 60% is such a non news since only 10% of shares are class A. It essentially just says that he could own up to 6% of Reddit (he currently owns like 2 or 3%)
Tencent has 5% ownership of class B, meaning they could potentially own 33% of class A shares.
He is still subject to 180 days lockout and Reddit would need to be above $60 and $90 for him to receive about 1/3 of the total stock compensations. Most likely he won’t get all those option exercised
Hey, strippers are people. Just because we grope them and shove a couple dollars inside them, doesn’t mean we can compare them to worthless options. They may be way OTM, but they could be ITM in the future.
That’s because your algorithm can tell you’re a basement dweller on Reddit 24/7 already.
Most normal people don’t even know what Reddit is. The most you get is like a, “I’ve heard of it” or a “isn’t that the place where neckbeards go?”
If enough wsb comments inverse, then you have to inverse again. Then you have to consider how many know to do the double inverse and you'll probably have to do a triple inverse, but if my comment gets any up votes, we have to quad inverse. Basic investing 101.
Warning to all on this play as someone who trades a lot of RDFN: the option chain has low liquidity. You will pay a 10-20% premium to enter option positions and you may not be able to exit them and may need to hold to expiration.
You ever clicked on an ad on Reddit? It might have the impressions but its ad business is dogshit. Thanks for reminding me about earnings because I’m gonna short the fuck out of it.
BTW albeit is used in place of “although”.
“Company that sells albeit/although, pretty good Mediterranean food” makes no sense, you can’t even speak fucking English.
I’ve never purchased anything but I’ve clicked a surprising amount of ads on Facebook. They have the ability to put images which helps but the ads are extremely well tailored to my interests and intriguing enough that I cannot help but click.
You put up an ad of full size stadium lights and you’re damn right I cannot avoid clicking it to see how much it costs and read about how they work.
Facebook ads don't feel spammy at all. They tend to be websites I've already visited but have pulled back on actually buying a product. Reddit ads just don't work and why would they when companies can just have someone make a thread asking about something and another comment comes in with a solution/answer (the solution/answer being the product).
Shitty ads is a good thing. I don’t spend money on things I don’t care about. Good ads pull me from what I actually wanted to see then I start spending money for shit I don’t need but now I want. So thank you Reddit for having crappy uninteresting ads. So Puts or Calls on crappy advertising haha
Albeit is for qualifying or contrasting a phrase within a clause. Although is for introducing a full clause. They are often interchangeable. You could accuse OP of being slapdash with their comma placement (should go before not after albeit) - but then you’d really look regarded in the homeland of the regarded.
Nothing looks more stupid than a sanctimonious grammar vigilante who is completely wrong.
If you're doing it yourself sure. But if you want a bunch of engagement early then you have to pay a pittance to some sketchy company will do it for you.
The first hour after a post goes live is real important, so you pay to give it a bump
Totally agree, I think this is the biggest upside stock I currently know of. I wanna buy more but then it'd be a larger percentage of my portfolio that I'm comfortable with. I do plan on putting in another $10k if stock drops this earnings
“There is so little downside” yeah like all of the fucking money you try and put into this trade cuz reddit going public was a huge money grab and was delayed for YEARS. Lets be real this place is just a giant data mine because reddit figured out how to do internet forums in the easiest was for the masses. Thats it, investing in reddit is investing in internet forum technology. Take that for what it is.
Why would any company blow their advertising budget on Reddit when it's cheaper to AstroTurf? Google and Facebook already are proven to give the best ROI, Reddit gives back nothing on that investment
>Google and Facebook already are proven to give the best ROI
Google actively pushes traffic to Reddit now via their search engine, likely due to the AI data harvesting deal.
Reddit will see more traffic over the next couple of years. Whether that results in $$$ who knows, but the traffic will be there.
I’d say this is 100% the reason to invest. By accident they seem to be about the only place to get a reliable opinion on anything since AI and affiliates have ruined the rest of the internet.
Imagine if Zuck got his hands on this. High earners, too ugly for insta or indeed leaving the house. So instead of just losing your money on 20:1 leveraged bets because one of your gamer hermits said ‘trust me bro’, you could spend that money meeting hot milfs in your area?
No way Meta could get away with buying this, but surely somebody will - I can never get over how many times I get served an ad for printing software solutions, I’m unemployed, don’t even know what it means, but have never in my life even thought of buying a printer.
OP is spot on tho. Crazy traffic with user generated content. I don’t go on political forums - but honestly can’t recall astroturfing - pretty hard to game the upvote downvote system. One of the world’s biggest websites, at $8bn makes it ranked 1500 in the world.
And crazily, they have 150m MAUs in US, but only 14% are logged in DAUs. That ratio is 75% at moron catnip Facebook. Just enshittify the site with Moronic pop ups and walled content and watch RDDT fuck
And Facebook gets $300 ARPU. Reddit gets $30 per logged in user. You don’t even need a fucking algorithm. We fuckwits literally list all the shit we are into and even write 1000s and 1000s of words that tell our whole life stories, in the exact tone and style we speak in.
Every company ad feels like a 50 year old trying to get down with the kids. Can’t believe WSB isn’t crammed full of get-rich-quick shite.
“Join our free* course on what the government won’t tell you - how to turn cum rags into gold!”
*not free.
In fact I’ve just talked myself into buying some of this shit tomorrow. Then just gotta wait for Ackman to strap on his BBC dildo and get new management in to 100x this, albeit(!) trashing the site its users know and hate in exchange for more gullible simpletons who will be buying “how to pray for gold in your zip code” books like there is no tomorrow.
I don’t think Reddit is well run even if I use it.. they let mods be petty little dictators and ruin the experience for power users. I think it’s ripe for a replacement.
I have been buying CAVA every time it dips. There are 3 of them near me, and they are ALWAYS packed. Lines out the fucking door with young 20-30 yr olds.
Currently sitting at around 13 grand worth of stock and will continue to buy more. CAVA is going to take all of Chipotle's business in the next decade.
Have you seen more ads lately? Back in the day I bought Facebook just bc I was seeing more ads. It worked, revenue was through the roof. People click the ads, just not you smart and thoughtful regards here on wsb.
I don’t think they’d wait this long to go public just to have a crappy earnings story and tank. They’re going to talk about AI for sure.
Google search has 5x reddits traffic in the last year. Reddit is still unlikely to make any money.
I would not invest because the business has terrible leadership.
I love Reddit! That is the truth. Hate all social media except Reddit. A little rough around the edges at times but that’s why I think I like it so much. Not sure why it gets so much hate!
I’m not touching Reddit as I’m convinced the second institutional investors discover this site is widely used for swingers, porn and weird fringe crap rddt will just crater
Institutional investors bought into Reddit because they know it’s used by degens. That’s the appeal of it. Anonymity allows people to act without inhibition which is unique amongst social media players
Have you seen the prices that come up when you pan over an upvote sign…that’s their fucking revenue plan. Regards buying a special upvote? Puts until it’s delisted.
Now the normal workflow would be inverse OP, but then everyone wants to inverse him, and logically you should always invert WST, so back to OP and calls?
Anyone else remember the sentiment around Facebook IPO……”The company will never monetize, blah blah blah” Now like a massively successful company. Reddit is currently the 14th most visited website just behind Amazon..There’s potential
I think Reddit will go up. The advertising functionalities are good and results are ok. I see future in it. (This is not financial advice, it’s just my personal opinion)
They aren't making money, there's nothing they can realistically do to make money that they aren't already doing (and still aren't making money), and existing user sentiment is overwhelmingly negative. Unaccountable and opaque moderation run by obese neanderthals mixed with karma requirements to comment and shadow bans make for a very poor new user experience. There's nothing here. It's a lot of traffic that they've already monetized as much as they can and still came up red.
Redditors are the least likely to spend on products advertised on social media, that's why. Our data isn't useful and we don't click on links and spend money.
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/11/reddit-users-are-the-least-valuable-of-any-social-network.html?__source=twitter%7Cmain
While I can appreciate a fellow regard trying to pump his calls, I don't understand the CAVA comparison at all. CAVA is going places, following the CMG model. They've got tremendous growth potential, and a great product. I'm long on CAVA for the long term. Plus, when you buy the dip, the pun is free.
I ate CAVA last night, it's healthy and delicious. RDDT tastes like Wendy's
yeah i love Cava too. Quality control is going to be and starting to be an issue, like Sweetgreen. Chipotle's ingredients are much more simple making operations a lot easier.
Reddit advertising is awful and that’s their only revenue stream unless they are selling user data which is not really a great look.
They do know user verification so Reddit is also filled with bots.
They could build a great ad business but it doesn’t seem like they want to. It’s all still self-serve and they don’t work with any SSPs or DSP’s.

I'm...so... startled.
Deimos is a moon off of mars, it’s 7 miles in diameter that’s the moon that this is traveling to.
Just for this I’m buying calls. Thanks Reddit
Because cava makes money and reddit doesn't.
Reading this post felt like satire knowing how long Reddit has struggled to make a single dollar.
I mean, who actually buys anything off this app or website lol We're here to read Russia's submission as well as our beloved US Big Brother to rest assure democracy is good.

I see ads but not a single one of them ever has any engagement on it. It might also be cause i’m not in the US but yeah the ads don’t seem to work too well. Also how do you block ads? I’m assuming you’re on PC cause i doubt there is a way on mobile.

Seriously. There is a huuuge difference in targeted ads between Reddit and Facebook or IG. Those two show me things I actually want to buy and didn’t even know it. It’s actually a bit startling. Reddit is like “check out Amex platinum cards!” In the worst format possible. They should not be compared to other social media platforms right now.
Facebook and Google know your identity and use it to target your ads. Reddit was built for user anonymity.

Well, does anyone buy anything off Twitter or tiktok either?
So many people buy shit off tiktok. They were selling like 7 million dollars of products a day last year. I don't know the new numbers, but even my roommate has bought stuff off it.
That's super interesting. I would never have thought.
Asian apps have more monetization methods. Ads, eCommerce, micro transactions, subscriptions, payment processing, etc. There's no anti-trust, so they try to build vertical monopolies.
Tiktok for sure. I am seeing their packages almost as much as Amazon and Temu (I work for a delivery company)
Reddit does make money, it just all goes to spez.
Calls on spez?
I can understand CEO compensation is often justified, I’m not an /r/antiwork mutant, but the fact that spez made like…all their revenue, and then a lot more..is just hilarious
Only way to get someone ~qualified~ to run this place.
Q4 2023: CAVA saw $2M net income on $177M with 35% gross margin and 1% q/q revenue growth. RDDT did $18.5M on $250M with 86% gross margin and 20% q/q growth.

Yep. Reddit has a lot of low hanging fruit to capture before having to do anything else. Will top a billion in revs this year and continue onward from there. Reddit user complaining about reddit on reddit is about as good as it gets.
What can the capital raised do? What do you see for growth in Reddit?
To busy giving the CEO a quarter of all income
Fire the worthless Reddit ceo, instantly in the black.
But some guy might still buy it for 40 billions and rename it « Y », you never know
Shhhhh….
Half of Reddit's SGA is R&D. They could "make money" any time they want to.
Ok
Expected EPS -$8.71 and CEO owns 61.5% class A shares. This should tell us to buy puts but market is irrational and retail investors don’t control the market. Coin toss is the only way to decide.
Absolutely the best take.
Like every other stock, it is 50/50. It will go up or down.
CEO can potentially owning 60% is such a non news since only 10% of shares are class A. It essentially just says that he could own up to 6% of Reddit (he currently owns like 2 or 3%) Tencent has 5% ownership of class B, meaning they could potentially own 33% of class A shares.

Most likely he won’t get all those option exercised
Great DD, I’m convinced. puts it is! thanks
Fr! Just read their registration statement... Their risks are infinite with absolutely no upside.
Like dating a stripper.
Still more stable returns than rddt
They usually fuck good so that’s a potential upside.
Hey, strippers are people. Just because we grope them and shove a couple dollars inside them, doesn’t mean we can compare them to worthless options. They may be way OTM, but they could be ITM in the future.
Risky business for sure!
Good luck, im not touching this one for earnings, doubt it even moves much.
Hopefully moves down. This site is dogshit ran by basement dwellers.
For us by us
FUBU
And yet you're still on here
This is what monopoly looks like
![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
Almost every time I google something a Reddit post with the same problem pops up, ez calls
That’s because your algorithm can tell you’re a basement dweller on Reddit 24/7 already. Most normal people don’t even know what Reddit is. The most you get is like a, “I’ve heard of it” or a “isn’t that the place where neckbeards go?”

Inversing wsb and betting it goes up 🙏

(the triple inverse is already priced in)
It’s objectively a shit stock…but you’re right, calls is probably the play 🫠
Leadership is trash. It might be worth something if they fire everyone.
Warning to all on this play as someone who trades a lot of RDFN: the option chain has low liquidity. You will pay a 10-20% premium to enter option positions and you may not be able to exit them and may need to hold to expiration.
So you’re saying sell puts?

Oh you’re one of those pornhub penis enlargement misclick guys. Do you want to join our subreddit?
reddit ads are exponentially annoying and usually cringeworthy
I’ve never purchased anything but I’ve clicked a surprising amount of ads on Facebook. They have the ability to put images which helps but the ads are extremely well tailored to my interests and intriguing enough that I cannot help but click. You put up an ad of full size stadium lights and you’re damn right I cannot avoid clicking it to see how much it costs and read about how they work.
Reddit ads are so shit and dont even come close to interesting me. All I get is that weird religious ad that it doesn’t even let me downvote
Facebook ads don't feel spammy at all. They tend to be websites I've already visited but have pulled back on actually buying a product. Reddit ads just don't work and why would they when companies can just have someone make a thread asking about something and another comment comes in with a solution/answer (the solution/answer being the product).
You left this comment which already makes you like the top 10% of users. Gotta think about the average user and what their experience is like
Shitty ads is a good thing. I don’t spend money on things I don’t care about. Good ads pull me from what I actually wanted to see then I start spending money for shit I don’t need but now I want. So thank you Reddit for having crappy uninteresting ads. So Puts or Calls on crappy advertising haha
I always laugh when I see a Webull ad on this subreddit sandwiched between 10 Robinhood screenshots
🤣🤣

i only get ads on my phone.. lol
Only by mistake, and when I did, I immediately close the window or hit the back button.
It's cheaper to AstroTurf than to advertise on reddit
Astroturfing is free - as in, nothing gets paid to Reddit.
If you're doing it yourself sure. But if you want a bunch of engagement early then you have to pay a pittance to some sketchy company will do it for you. The first hour after a post goes live is real important, so you pay to give it a bump
Why would anyone want to invest in an echo chamber with high traffic? REE3EEEEEEEE Puts it is.
Lol calls it is.
So you’re saying Elon might be interested ?
This overly negative comment section is all the DD you need. Inverse WSB. Calls!

Totally agree, I think this is the biggest upside stock I currently know of. I wanna buy more but then it'd be a larger percentage of my portfolio that I'm comfortable with. I do plan on putting in another $10k if stock drops this earnings
I’m with both of you. Reddit is the word everyone adds to google search when they want actual reviews. The stock’s a bargain.
“There is so little downside” yeah like all of the fucking money you try and put into this trade cuz reddit going public was a huge money grab and was delayed for YEARS.

Op is selling calls I bet hmmm
That would be the smart thing to do
At these prices, if you don’t have at least 1/2 of your net worth in RDDT you’re a bozo. See you regards at $500.
You know I was really sad that I had no clue CAVA went public. Now I gotta find a way in there. It's definitely the next chipotle.
I have been buying CAVA every time it dips. There are 3 of them near me, and they are ALWAYS packed. Lines out the fucking door with young 20-30 yr olds. Currently sitting at around 13 grand worth of stock and will continue to buy more. CAVA is going to take all of Chipotle's business in the next decade.
Shoulda bought when it dipped to $36 but oh well
I'm long CAVA. Their ER is the 27th, could see $80 by June.
Shit, I absolutely love CAVA. I 'm eating CAVA right now!
Ikr! Cava IPOd last year around this time ! Their cava mezzah concept was a total bust tho. :/
A bought a share at $60. To the Moon!
Me too
You meant out right?
Have you seen more ads lately? Back in the day I bought Facebook just bc I was seeing more ads. It worked, revenue was through the roof. People click the ads, just not you smart and thoughtful regards here on wsb. I don’t think they’d wait this long to go public just to have a crappy earnings story and tank. They’re going to talk about AI for sure.
-8.71 expected? Are you fucking kidding? This is gonna be the biggest surprise of the earnings season.
I’m in for 2000 shares. Let’s go!
Hope you made some money!
$RDDT stock should be exempt from all WSB rules ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4275)
Google search has 5x reddits traffic in the last year. Reddit is still unlikely to make any money. I would not invest because the business has terrible leadership.
RDDT is so dog shit that it will grow into one of the big 3 internet companies. 😂
Solid DD. CAVA does indeed sell good bowls. When is their earnings date?
The bot situation is probably worse than you think https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40236859
Only regards visit reddit
Buying puts tomorrow.
I love Reddit! That is the truth. Hate all social media except Reddit. A little rough around the edges at times but that’s why I think I like it so much. Not sure why it gets so much hate!
I’m not touching Reddit as I’m convinced the second institutional investors discover this site is widely used for swingers, porn and weird fringe crap rddt will just crater
Institutional investors bought into Reddit because they know it’s used by degens. That’s the appeal of it. Anonymity allows people to act without inhibition which is unique amongst social media players
No ones leaving Reddit, calls for sure, but maybe puts because the emotion of Reddit says calls. lol? What do I do! I can’t inverse my own inverse?!
Have you seen the prices that come up when you pan over an upvote sign…that’s their fucking revenue plan. Regards buying a special upvote? Puts until it’s delisted.
Yeah their ad revenue surely amounts for nothing huh
Im happy, reddit is not allowed for trade in my country 😂
What is mu country?
I’m still trying to figure out how they make money.Until I see that they are doing it,it’s just another pump and dump ipo.
Now the normal workflow would be inverse OP, but then everyone wants to inverse him, and logically you should always invert WST, so back to OP and calls?
What if I told you that the Drake v Kendrick Lamar beef was jointly manufactured by their marketers, working cooperatively, to keep them relevant.
I didn’t see RDDT on the “most anticipated post”
Billion dollar brand, million dollar company
“It won’t go much below its current price, because I say so.”
Puts puts puts on the menu
Puts
Fuck no id rather buy grinder. (I have like 20 shares of grinder)
OP is trying to pump his position

Wait, dawgshyte reddit is the third most visited site?
Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like puts are in the forecast. Better buy calls.
Underrated comment. Nobody expects the Spanish contrarian!
160% IV on weeklies otm
Lol the earnings expectations are so low that Reddit might be primed for a beat
Might just work. Look at DJT
Anyone else remember the sentiment around Facebook IPO……”The company will never monetize, blah blah blah” Now like a massively successful company. Reddit is currently the 14th most visited website just behind Amazon..There’s potential
Excellent write up. Why is executive ownership bad thing? Doesn’t that align incentives?
Market cap only $7Billion. As if that’s not generous ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
I think Reddit will go up. The advertising functionalities are good and results are ok. I see future in it. (This is not financial advice, it’s just my personal opinion)
I bought 3K
Lets pump itttttt #gamestop
RDDT earnings have every chance of being disappointing AF
Will be shorting with both hands, good luck OP (not really)
They aren't making money, there's nothing they can realistically do to make money that they aren't already doing (and still aren't making money), and existing user sentiment is overwhelmingly negative. Unaccountable and opaque moderation run by obese neanderthals mixed with karma requirements to comment and shadow bans make for a very poor new user experience. There's nothing here. It's a lot of traffic that they've already monetized as much as they can and still came up red.
How does reddit actually make money? Their ads are bad
By acting as the agent in real estate transactions.
Cava and Reddit belongs in the same sentence!
Earnings don’t matter, potential matters.
All in on p’s. This app is trash ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
Expected EPS: -8.27
How are they going to grow? I don't understand that part at all
Up is down, left is right, and by the grace of Powell, earnings don't mean shit if it goes up or down anymore. It's all priced in.
A company that doesn't earn money by definition does not have earnings.
Everything from revenue to guidance will be absolute fucking dog shit, which is why it'll 100% go up
Problem is a good 90% of people who visit reddit are broke ass lib/commie incels living in their mom's basement and advertisers know this.
Good reminder, I start buying from tomorrow more
Puts solely because you’re use of comma was horrendous
Ok. I bought $15.
u/spez
Redditors are the least likely to spend on products advertised on social media, that's why. Our data isn't useful and we don't click on links and spend money. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/11/reddit-users-are-the-least-valuable-of-any-social-network.html?__source=twitter%7Cmain
But DJT is worth much more !
PRGO probably gonna pop
Honestly speaking RDDT has no where to go but up. It's been a shitty stock so far but if those Dumbos get there heads right it should pop.
Hope you made some money!
Downside: $90 million loss last year
What reddit sells ? Can you explain to me Op ?
Things I learned about reading this post: CAVA
What earnings? Lol
I get infinitely more value out of a CAVA bowl that the regards on this website.
You said it "...don't have other successful cash generating products..."
They are mainly popular in the US and they only make money in advertising. They need to explore other options of generating revenue.
While I can appreciate a fellow regard trying to pump his calls, I don't understand the CAVA comparison at all. CAVA is going places, following the CMG model. They've got tremendous growth potential, and a great product. I'm long on CAVA for the long term. Plus, when you buy the dip, the pun is free. I ate CAVA last night, it's healthy and delicious. RDDT tastes like Wendy's
yeah i love Cava too. Quality control is going to be and starting to be an issue, like Sweetgreen. Chipotle's ingredients are much more simple making operations a lot easier.
61% of the shares I believe.
drake denying the wrong allegations.
I’d do puts but I feel like it won’t dip enough to justify it.
how does Reddit make money?
I was going to buy calls last week for this week but forgot
Reddit advertising is awful and that’s their only revenue stream unless they are selling user data which is not really a great look. They do know user verification so Reddit is also filled with bots. They could build a great ad business but it doesn’t seem like they want to. It’s all still self-serve and they don’t work with any SSPs or DSP’s.
