Quite impressive! I have never found Reddit particularly interesting, deleted account after a while. What’s going on there? Who is using it?

I still use Reddit for some stuff (pick any tv show or weird niche interest or piece of technology you might want support on, or even bigger things like pro wrestling that don't currently have a place in SN, for example), but it's gone way downhill as a service. They offered most users (myself included) the chance to get in on the IPO, and I suppose I could (and maybe should) have done that and flipped the stock, but I didn't want to be a part of the hype cycle.
I'm pretty sure the price will settle down heavily.

Thanks for explaining. What was this “chance to get in on the IPO” about?

Basically, Reddit users over a certain threshhold of karma (from posts/comments) were allowed to purchase up to a certain amount of the IPO stock, just like the big businesses were able to (though with a smaller limit). It's actually not a terrible idea (since Reddit's value was built on the users), but also helped create extra artificial demand.

Reddit peaked in 2012 or earlier
The comments are worse than ever.
One example: don’t use a realtor, use a lawyer instead to sell a house
This comment received the most up votes in a thread about selling a house
Easier said than done

This is hype! Beware! Reddit has managed to manipulate or adjust the market value which they don't really have.

Just yesterday they banned my 13 year old account, I'm sure by error and they did not grant my appeal, Reddit is on Eternal September anyways.

Reddit was far better years ago and felt like a fun site for free speech of all kinds. Now it's a cesspool unless you firmly subscribe to leftist ideology.

Reddit's a fucking dumpster-fire user-wise.

Still, it is in the top8 of the global traffic to websites. So must be very popular.

Popular indeed, however that doesn't change a thing in regards to the point I was going after: the average Reddit-user is a prick at best (IMHO).

An ideologically captured prick at that.
