In recent years, Reddit has transformed from a chaotic forum to a significant player in the media landscape, particularly as a resource for AI companies. Key highlights include:
-
Strategic Partnerships:
- A $60M annual content-licensing deal with Google.
- A $70M agreement with OpenAI.
-
Traffic Surge:
- Reddit’s readership tripled to 346 million, influenced by Google’s algorithm changes.
-
News Publisher Engagement:
- Noteworthy outlets like Puck and New York Times Opinion are reestablishing their presence on Reddit.
