Summary
Reddit shares have dropped 50% from their February peak, when the stock had soared over 500% from its $34 IPO price last March.
Much of the early enthusiasm came from AI-related deals allowing Reddit’s content to be used for training models, but recent doubts about long-term growth in the AI sector have dimmed that optimism.
Analysts remain skeptical and some call the stock “super overvalued,” noting Reddit still is not making any money.
Market uncertainty and early investor sell-offs continue to weigh on Reddit and the broader tech sector.
Plunge baby, plunge.
Reddit is not coming back. I know when a site is dead
Yep it’s been slowly declining for years. There’s no coming back from what a shithole it now is
We said the same thing about Facebook 15 years ago. Look at them now. Still twitching proudly with the vigour of youth while their teeth are falling out and their flesh is rotting.
God I hope you’re right. Nazi Spez and his chud admins are gonna be shitting bricks when they realize elon isn’t bailing them out.
Elon just sold Twitter to xAI for 33B, Reddit bastards can probably do similar. Some dumbfuck at Google or Microsoft will probably buy it.
xAI is Elon’s AI company. I don’t think the value at which he is willing to sell his one company to his other company applies much to anything outside of Musk’s companies.
In fact him selling it to himself shows the price is probably inflated
Link to this? There hasn’t been anything in the news about such a sale.
plenty of news about it. but it is just elon giving his company to another company. Like facebook to meta or google to alphabet.
The funniest thing about it is, he valued twitter at 3/4th of what he bought it for.

Other shit has been bigger news.
Bye bye…officially deleted my reddit account. Enough interaction on here I can 100% make the plunge now. Sad because I have been there so long. But I rememeber when digg died, and its time to move on.
I was there for diggs death. I was a young college student.
I held off on Reddit and enjoyed a lack of that style of addiction for like 2 years. Then slowly reddit consumed me.
I haven’t been back for anything but porn since the API-pocalypse.
How’s Lemmy porn so far? I keep this account SFW
It’s getting better. Not nearly as much content but also not nearly as much only fans click bait.
So it’s ok, but reddits quantity has Lemmy’s quality beaten.
“Run, motherfucker, run”
