Summary

Reddit shares have dropped 50% from their February peak, when the stock had soared over 500% from its $34 IPO price last March.

Much of the early enthusiasm came from AI-related deals allowing Reddit’s content to be used for training models, but recent doubts about long-term growth in the AI sector have dimmed that optimism.

Analysts remain skeptical and some call the stock “super overvalued,” noting Reddit still is not making any money.

Market uncertainty and early investor sell-offs continue to weigh on Reddit and the broader tech sector.

    lol. It’s only going to get worse. The site used to be the top place to look something up, now it’s just going to be full of deleted answers and disappointment.

      Its already increasing hard to find relevant posts when doing a Google search with reddit in search. Most posts are from 2 years ago with low upvotes for niche topics.

      This does make me happy

        It makes me sad. Such a great resource, gone, with no replacement.

        For some medical inquire it’s still useful. But if your looking for politics or news, not a good idea, or subs where there’s para social fans of a specific show or actor.

          Anyone who would make a medical inquiry on Reddit, then believe what they’re told, deserves whatever dire consequence happens to them as a result.
