Reddit says its daily users are up 47 percent year-over-year. Reddit just turned a profit for the first time. As part of its third-quarter earnings results released on Tuesday, the company reported a profit of $29.9 million, along with $348.4 million in revenue — a 68 percent increase year over year.
I seriously doubt there are even half that many users these days. Go look at the posts and comments on the site now. They’re all pointless drivel, and obvious bot posts designed to get other bots and rubes to comment. Stuff like “What is your favorite color and why” makes it to the front page with a hundred thousand upvotes. I mean come on! How could that be actual people?

Lol, nice experiment you’ve got going on there.
