Our take
Reddits is an online platform that hosts thousands of message board communities (known as subreddits) designed to foster authentic human connection. With more than 100,000 communities covering everything from food, entertainment, and sports to niche interests for highly specific audiences, there's virtually a space for everyone.
The platform attracts over 52M daily users and more than 50B monthly page views. While these figures are smaller than those of social media giants like Facebook and X, Reddits stands out by offering easily discoverable communities where users can dive deep into virtually any topic imaginable.
Today, Reddit continues to grow its user base and expand its reach, remaining a unique hub for conversation,m connection, and shared interests. With its strong community-driven model and steady revenue streams, it's most definitely positioned to stay a central part of online culture for years to come.
