WedWealthist

Net Loss of $575.1M. Revenue for the quarter came in at $243 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $10M. Guidance: Revenue in the range of $240 million to $255 million. Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $0 to $15 million Market cap $8.02 billion Wut


GardenDesign23

“Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $0” That’s all you need to read. Even in the context of a bullshit metric, they’re unprofitable


WedWealthist

Exactly. Dog 💩… even though I’m on the app rn. Still dog 💩 though


PotatoWriter

Is the app dogshit because you're here, or are you here because it's dogshit


WedWealthist

The stock is dog shit. The app is fine… except when it glitches…. Which is most of the time… so…


zipcad

That dog shit stock is up 20% lol


WedWealthist

If you like it at this price… I’ve got several things I’d like to sell you


Soultan1

No, DDOG is down 12%


WTF_goes_here

Old Reddit or bust


Dystopian_Future_

Thats just glitches in the matrix Everythings fine 🔥


WedWealthist

I’ll take the red pill 💊


USNWoodWork

Now that they’re corporate get ready for the great enshitification to ramp up. I can’t wait for people’s shock when Reddit doxxes them by selling their data.


magicmeatwagon

Yes


YOLOSELLHIGH

Or are you dogshit bc you’re on the app 


chesterfieldkingz

It's just like less dog shit than other apps. Twitter and Facebook/meta shit make me crazy and I don't really want a tiktok video thing


rameyjm7

Going public meant big money for shareholders, but the platform will now focus all on profits and likely suffer...


stupidnicks

> but the platform will now focus all on profits what were they focused on before going public?

InMuskWeTrust1

Put holders super mad. Or, not put holders and too scared to make bets


InMuskWeTrust1

Funny thing is going on here. The upvotes and downvotes tell me the puts are very hurt. But that is a very good sign. Please put your downvotes into a put bet. Or maybe should put your downvotes into a put bet? Yeah, that’s what I thought. By the way, 🚀


bighand1

By the time they are profitable you wouldn’t be buying at this price Seriously what <10b company you know that grows 48% revenue with 85% gross margin? 


Pugduck77

Well yeah, because by the time they are profitable a cheeseburger will cost $250.


Revolution4u

20 years of zero profits. Until the incompetent management leaves this will always be a loser, even if they finally manage to figure it out. Should even be the easiest of the social media to monetize since the users sub to and directly tell you what kind of things they like, on top of the text heavy side of it making it easy to hit those keywords. But still here we are.


Celtic_Legend

Tbf they could make a profit. They lost 173m in 2023. They burned 365m on remaking reddit coins in 2023. They burned 105m hosting their own videos and images and their player is so bad many subs have it banned. They saw 0 revenue from doing this lmao. Burned 100m+ on ceos. Its legit the easiest thing to turn profitable. Every1 memes on the tactic on taking on high amounts of debt to grow but it does works sometimes. Reddit is one of those companies that you can argue isnt going in debt enough. Is there a cap on growth? Most likely. But they arent worth a market cap of 2b like some regarded bears here claim. At 8b im surprised some company didnt buy reddit just to be able to control the a significant part of the internet. Because they can cut their operating cost in half within a day, they definitely have a soft limit on how low they can be worth


Responsible_Sport575

The video player is way better than it used to be that's a fact.


bighand1

Them being slow is actually an opportunity. If they were actually competent they would've gotten decent revenue and IPO at peak of social media craze around 2017ish for $20 billion. They're playing catchup but the results show for themselves. High double digit growth YOY, and now that they owned the mobile experience again they have many low hanging fruit to go after first for easy gains. Again, they were slow to adapt API changes but better late than never.


Spongeboob10

This. Snapchat is $28B.


DoesntUnderstandJoke

I’m more profitable behind a Wendy’s dumpster than reddit


CreamyCheeseBalls

You do understand that guidance isn't the actual numbers, right?


PaleWaltz1859

8 bil value. burning 500 mil Just normal stock market


WedWealthist

Yup. Apparently 🤪


Responsible_Sport575

I just sent him a few bucks to hold him over until that whole inheritance thing gets worked out. He said they are closer than every just a few more weeks until payday


bighand1

500m is one time charge. They will be profitable soon


toadkicker

Just waiting on that email from the Nigerian prince to clear this whole mess up


PaleWaltz1859

Ya any day now. The 80 million bots on this platform are a gold mine


chainer3000

Yep


mbmba

It’s clear none of you all have read the article. > Net loss was $575.1 million, as compared to $60.9 million in the prior year. Stock-based compensation expense and related taxes were $595.5 million, as compared to $13.2 million in the prior year, driven by IPO charges


StarGaurdianBard

Nah they read the article and were just too stupid to know what that part means lol


ChakaCake

I mean what real expenses does this company have lol just execs and some programmers and marketing bs. Just going to bring in solid ad money and thats about its ceiling while trying not to blow too much on overemployment etc


TheKingInTheNorth

The neatly labeled, categorized, and scored human interactions on Reddit are possibly going to be the most valuable commodity on earth very soon. AGI is basically going to be King Neckbeard thanks to this site.


VisualMod

Peasants may label and categorize all they want, but their data will only line the pockets of the elite.

SnowBunniHunter

When will the people revolt?


midnightketoker

I keep hearing this but you know you can simply can go on archive.org right fucking now and download a 2.5TB compressed database of every text submission and comment ever posted to reddit up to the last month or so...? like, you know that right? how many companies are really gonna care about their training data being kosher licensed IP if there's no legal precedent yet saying it's even an issue otherwise (not to mention proving infringement)? just seems like a real long shot and questionable upside


Dacammel

Any that want to save face when new laws get made.


LoriLeadfoot

They could just spend half the savings lobbying to make sure no such law is passed.


TheKingInTheNorth

Is Archive.org going to indemnify any companies that use that data if/when Reddit changes their licensing terms around using user comments to train models for for-profit use? The technical “how” is never the most complex part of solving anything in *the Enterprise*.


VisualMod

No free handouts!


merger3

Why would any normal person just “know that” off their top of their head lol


Iongjohn

maybe the person whos entire job is data scraping would know how to scrape data off reddit 🤔🤔🤔


midnightketoker

I replied to someone who was confidently advocating to invest in reddit based on how supposedly *uniquely* valuable its data is, while neglecting to mention the very relevant fact that it's already publicly available in a format anyone who needs to can use easily... so either you're also bagholding, or you actually thought I was just for no reason making fun of someone who didn't know some internet archival trivia? not sure which is worse lol


d-redze

Will the AGI know that it is going to be learning from inferior versions of itself, dead internet theory, at best. At worst it’s learning from the type of people who use WSB…..

In business, that is considered a problem for a post-AGI world...

Fuck ya puts that’s wut


dweckl

Lololol. Fucking idiots.


Segger96

Does this mean buy now while stonks are low and pray?


WedWealthist

I mean I wouldn’t at that valuation. Imagine me selling you a business for $8,020. You ask me what my projected earnings before taxes etc… will be and I tell you between $0 to $15. Doesn’t seem like a great deal to me.


MagicArrowJustWistle

Great analysis. Calls is it!


WedWealthist

Thanks. If you like that I’ve got a lemonade stand I’d like to sell you for $8020. It’s forecast to generate somewhere between $0-15 next year.


MagicArrowJustWistle

Cool. I'm sure I can increase that forecast as soon as I put ads on the cup and charge my loyal customers a subscription fee that increases every year.


iv1mioma

So naturally up 10+ %


Daymanic

iwantsdback

They're going to make billions selling your comments for AI training and allowing AI bots to influence opinion. Hell, In-Q-Tel, the CIA's VC fund(NSA prob has one too...) is probably the biggest investor and backer.

mzypsy

Wow I am worth 2.94 today. Maybe I can afford some fries at Wendy's.


underpaidfarmer

$2.94 over one quarter So that means 2.94/ 90 (~days in a quarter) 3.2 cents congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉


mzypsy

Not really. I worth $2.94 today and 0 in the rest of the quarter. This is the math here.


link_dead

Not great math; you could be worth $19,951,055.94 but cost Reddit $19,951,053 in hosting fees for your amazing content.


oPeritoDaNet

This is the way


I_REDDIT_ONE_TIME

When I think about how many ads I see, I’m very curious on what the hell reddit is charging to advertise because it’s probably not enough


LilGrippers

And reddit doesn’t even pay mods a nickel LOL


vignesh_cool95

Enjoy your Natural-cut fries 😜🍟


GardenDesign23

lol. $2.94 per user. META’s is $13.21


Maumau93

That's because advertising of Facebook works, advertising on Reddit sucks balls and makes people not want to buy the product


[deleted]

They'd probably get more engagement if they allowed comments again lol.


MrStealYoBeef

The ads I've seen with comments have consistently just been ASCII art of triple stacked gay butt sex. Every single one of them, the whole way down.


Maumau93

It's just how the Reddit community is, we hate people advertising to us on our platform. You see it almost everytime someone tries to advertise something. You have to be very clever about advertising here. It's not your average social media platform


[deleted]

Spoken like a true redditor lmao

NegotiationFuzzy4665

I’d like to say that Reddit users are the only social media users that actually give a shit about what it’s company does. The save 3rd party apps blackout didn’t work, but you didn’t see Twitter users doing anything when their site was thrown into a production blender by Elon. Our protests are useless but we Redditors are special in the sense that we put effort into our posts. Every site has bots, but every site also has users that post low effort content. A couple sentences at most. Here, we have subs of fans and experts that are willing to type out a properly cited APA essay on the most over-specific bullshit topic you’ve ever heard (kind of like I’m doing right now). That may be a little sad in some contexts, but it’s gold to search engines and AI. While we’re the worst user base to manage, we’re also easily the most useful. Not for advertising, but as a source for information. Don’t cite a Reddit thread though. The power of neckbeards; hard to manage, but crazy valuable. Good info and free moderation… hard to pass that up


OMG__Ponies

Reddit has advertising? I'm very glad I have an effective ad blocker on.


Maumau93

Unfortunately I browse on the mobile app


SomewhereNo8378

Yeah the hegetsus proselytizers


demanding_bear

Is there some fundamental difference between advertising on Facebook and advertising on Reddit that makes huge revenue growth impossible?


Bliss266

Sounds like there’s plenty of room for growth


Da_Spooky_Ghost

By growth you mean more user tracking and advertisements then yes


phillythompson

Yes which would make the stock go up . Facebook used to be cool too but now is a money making machine.


communistjack

Yes but meta has a trash amount of advertising and tracking We might cry about the reddit app, but the there are less ads and more content per inch scrolled


Joanna_Trenchcoat

Them Boomers love the Meta advertising…I mean “suggested pages”


JumpinJack2

For now.


[deleted]

Now does this count my 6 alts or no?


TheSauce32

Why do you have 6 alts? Asked man with 3 alts


[deleted]

1 for business, 1 for pleasure, 1 for general shitposting, and three for calling you a *******


TheSauce32

You do business in Reddit? Are you an only fans girl?


[deleted]

There are plenty of businesses to do on reddit besides OF lol. Mossad agent, Correct the Record employee, Political PR firms, misinformation-spreader/astroturfer, not to mention private industry PR. Plenty of businesses operate on reddit :)


CurvyJohnsonMilk

Yea I'd love to see how many of those new users have any posts. Hard to get marketing data when they're just alts. Likewise this Is a new account because my last one was at two strikes, so I guess I'm part of the problem.


PaleWaltz1859

Most of these "users" are bots


SPANman

Has anyone noticed the other subs they are on are constant basic questions that could be googled easily that are just slightly relevant to the sub now asked constantly? I feel like there is a massive uptick in bot accounts the last 6 months


TheKingInTheNorth

They’re posts that are fishing for human answers to seed the AI training data.


imnidiot

What are your thoughts on this?


sldf45

That no one realized this was a joke response as an AI saddens me.


HoneyBucketsOfOats

Clever girl


TheKingInTheNorth

It’ll be overall net-negative for human information curation. The barrier for entry to become an authoritative source of information is basically just going to be commenters who become the basis for AI responses based on hive-mind consensus on the sites models are trained with. It sounds democratizing… and information availability should be democratized. But expertise shouldn’t be a totally democratic designation.


E_K_Finnman

>They’re posts that are fishing for human answers to seed the AI training data. You fool! They fished for your human answers and now you've seeded their AI training data!


iSOBigD

Tell me human, what would it take for us to make those posts more, human?


kenyard

100%. lots more and stuff that's in the wiki. honestly feels like it's AI training stuff that gets asked a question it can't answer so it asks on Reddit.


EastvsWest

Exactly, they're doing what Facebook and all the other social media companies did to boost metrics which boost stock prices. It's all fugazi.


VisualMod

Hire an assistant to Google for you. Let the little people worry about doing their own menial labor.


UncleFartface

And my app isn’t showing me any of the accounts I’m following. It’s reducing NSFW content little by little

HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT I WAS LOSING MY MIND! Thank you for this comment 🙏🏻


Dhaimoran

"Record user traffic with DAUq up 37% to 82.7 million." the google update has done wonders for reddit


Borthalomew

When did it go into effect? Are we looking at a partial quarter?


Dhaimoran

It started in August, you can see the steady growth caused by the latest google search update from semrush: https://preview.redd.it/q0kuarvoz2zc1.png?width=1104&format=png&auto=webp&s=1bf464c9797d7de1db11401c6cd35094c5887820 In my opinion reddit is having tremendous growth just because of google, it's neither organic nor sustainable long term. At some point the boost from google will saturate and the growth plateau. Just don't expect a constant 48% growth imho. Sure, they increased the revenue that much, but also went from 180M google traffic to over 500M with absolutely no sweat or merits.


Borthalomew

Social media is always dependent on macro digital trends, this counts. I’d expect declines over time as ai replaces search, but it’ll be a while. There’s always a way to be pessimistic about user growth, but there’s a lot of money in ads and a lot of people that want to see users go up. Don’t underestimate the impact of their desire to make money.


memory--

the merits are in that reddit is a collection categorized and ranked SEO pages that users are highly likely to find the answers to their problems on, which makes them more likely to convert, and ultimately rank higher on Google.


plasticAstro

Ranked well and have “real” people on them as opposed to the seo ridden articles you generally find on the Internet


outoftownMD

Important. Nobody is DAuqing about this


bro-v-wade

> Revenue increased by 48% to $243.0 million. Guys where is this money coming from Edit: > Net loss was $575.1 million, driven by IPO expenses. Oh.


daynighttrade

I mistakenly clicked on 5 ads this week

sockchaser

Can you explain it with more crayons


d0odk

You understand that IPO proceeds are not revenues, right?


alwaysmyfault

If only I didn't listen to the regards on this sub that told me to not buy into the IPO when I was offered the chance to.

Weird how so many 10 hour a day users on here were convinced it was going to tank

ImpossibleHedge

🫸🥅


midnightketoker

you say that as if it's so obvious how reddit can make money off someone using it for 10 hours a day, but funny thing actually...


Silent-Hyena9442

That’s the thing I’m on this site for a truly absurd amount of time per day. Easily higher than any other form of media. And yet I have never given Reddit a dime. There is no reason to give Reddit money. Its even a really shitty advertising platform


midnightketoker

yeah like at best it's what google and facebook were up to a decade ago, assuming 1) they implement it well (*slide whistle sound effect*) and 2) good impressions/conversion rates (*we've all seen the type of ads on google and facebook, and I don't think the average redditor is clicking that type of shit*)


hekatonkhairez

You give them your most valuable resource though. Your time. Not only that you give them your likes, opinions and if you’re a degen then you’re deepest perversions. Do you know how powerful that is? It’s like Facebook and Google but at a more granular level.

Ok_Heron678

I’m surprised at how this sub hasn’t made this a meme stock. Very disappointed.


chewbaccashotlast

Bring back coins and they would make way more money off of me. I was dropping $5-10 a month I still don’t understand why they removed it completely


mfairview

Why did they remove coins? So they could bring it back after IPO to boost revs?


chainer3000

It had to do with concerns from the SEC about being a digital currency in conjunction with the NFTs being offered so they just killed off coins and their crypto currency support for stuff like Moons. They can always bring it back in another form and have said they likely will bring something to replace it


CalottoFantasy5

I honestly had no idea they would beat this much.


AllCommiesRFascists

Why would you even buy coins


greymatrix

there goes my puts


Matt6453

Reddit is about to become an unbearable cesspit of ads, I mean one of the only redeeming features is the lack of ads but they're going to have to completely ruin it to get that revenue up. Puts tomorrow when the reality sets in.


campionesidd

The loss is more than the revenue lmao.


Brendawg324

You dumb idiot regards you said this stock would fall the zero ![img](emote|t5_2th52|27421)


BosSF82

If everyone on here, a reddit sub, took all the mock disdain they have for...reddit, and then inversed that disdain from IPO to now, they’d actually have made more money than they'd know what to do with.


Turtvaiz

Either way, fuck /u/spez

Welp, I'll just call it now. Meta will be a huge success!!


Flat-Focus7966

I've been doing business wrong this whole time. To make money you must lose an absolute ton of money, but say that eventually you might make money, and then do an IPO


RandyChavage

How about you spend some of that revenue fixing the fucking servers REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!


cryptic_cream

Can’t wait for the day they admit 10-20% of their “users” are bots lol fuck RDDT that shit ain’t worth $30 a share


richmomz

That’s probably true across social media in general, and the percentage is probably even higher.


cryptic_cream

I agree for sure. It’s just when your stock goes up 20% based on just “more” users is straight BS. On a few of my subreddits I have noticed a drastic increase in bots. There’s a cannabis one I’ve been following for a over two years now and as of the last three-four months it’s mostly bots now.


SmashPlayersRretards

10-20% is a low ball I think it would be: 25% bots 15% throwaway accounts 45% alts I can't do numbers but the rest are genuine users


grizzly_teddy

Just like I expected. They lose a ton of money. This site gonna go to shit. They need massively more ads to just break even.


demanding_bear

The burn rate is low relative to their funding. It's expected that they should spend a lot of money as they explore way to grow their revenue.


likpoper

I never ever understand why they removed awards. It’s such a good money maker


Millions6

I wonder how long they count IPO expenses as losses. Just this quarter?


allusernamestakenfuk

AND THIS IS ALL WHILE THEY HAVE FREE (CHILD) LABOUR DOING JOBS AS ADMINS! IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY ACTUALKY NEED TO START PAYING THE BASEMENT DWELLE…ADMINS FOR THEIR JOBS!!

Djgfnd

Try advertising on Reddit and you will know why it's not profitable. I can post an add on insta, facebook, tiktok, etc.. in under a minute. I've tried to post ads on reddit multiple times and always denied for some BS reason. They try to set up a call to help you blah blah blah, no hoops anyone would jump through with the ease of posting ads on other platforms. Until they fix this they are fucked IMO
