NEW YORK, Feb 7 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Social media platform Reddit, which helps its users “dive into anything,” may finally plunge into the public markets. The 19-year-old company made over $800 million in sales last year, at least 20% more than in 2022, according to Bloomberg. But a dearth of profit this late into its existence portends the lack of a real business model, suggesting it’s still not ready for public company life.

        As Wolf of Wall Street explains, at some level it isn’t even “money” anymore, it’s rather numbers like in a game - the goal being to “win”, e.g. Huffman competing against Musk.

        No matter how many salaries of irl people are being affected by their childish tantrums:-(.
