Reddit operates as a global online platform of communities where users post, vote, and discuss content around shared interests. People create and participate in topic-based “subreddits,” and the platform’s upvote/downvote system determines what content rises to visibility. Content flows from user-generated posts, comments, and conversations, while the business model relies on advertising revenue, premium memberships, and virtual goods (Reddit Coins). The platform differentiates itself through its large, diverse communities and explicit voting mechanism that rewards engaging, relevant discussions and fosters authentic interactions. Reddit’s goal is to help people connect through open discussions across a wide range of topics, while monetizing the activity through ads, memberships, and digital goods.

Reddit reported $2.2 billion revenue in 2025, up 69.4% year-over-year, whilst achieving net income of $529.7 million with a 24.1% profit margin. The social media platform generates revenue through digital advertising and licensing data to companies like Alphabet for AI training. Its top ten advertisers accounted for approximately 21% of revenue in 2025. Rigetti Computing develops superconducting quantum processors delivered through cloud services, primarily serving government and research clients. Government contracts represented approximately 90% of total revenue in 2025. The company is developing a 108-qubit system for international partners. Reddit maintains zero debt and an 11.6x current ratio, with $684.2 million free cash flow in 2025. However, stock-based compensation represented 49.7% of operating cash flow. Both companies face customer concentration risks in their respective sectors.
Tech bros can't agree on why everyone hates data centers. Truman Dickerson Updated Sat, August 22, 2026 at 2:11 AM PDT * Cities and towns across the country are resisting data centers. * That's a big problem for the AI industry, which needs them to power its products. * Tech bros are blaming everything from China, bad math, and bad PR for the backlash. Is it a Chinese psy-op? Are Americans ignorant? Or are tech bros just completely out of touch? Tech leaders across the country are full of ideas about why Americans are in a furor against data centers, positing theories on social media that range from practical to patronizing. "Most explanations of why datacenters are actually fine boil down to simple math," Yishan Wong, Reddit's former CEO, wrote on X. "The majority of people do not understand simple math." Data centers, which provide compute for large AI platforms, have come under bipartisan scrutiny in recent weeks as Americans across the country protest them in local town hall meetings and rallies in Washington. In a Gallup poll released in May, over 70% of respondents reported opposing data center construction in their area. Members of that group said they worried about energy and water consumption, but also reported an overall dislike of AI. Those feelings among Americans are now trickling down to their representatives as November's midterm elections draw closer. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, once a champion of AI data center expansion, has recently reversed course, announcing strict guidelines that all new projects must follow. He said Wednesday that the state has halted as many as 1,800 data center proposals. For AI companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, and others, the issue is existential. Without AI data centers, they can't power the products they sell. This week, President Donald Trump put it succinctly: Data centers, he said, "could use a little public relations help." The AI industry, however, is not sure that messaging is the only problem. Here's what its vanguard is saying. The Chinese psy-op. Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan took to X on Friday to signal boost a theory that "CCP state media, a Shanghai-based Marxist's nonprofit network, and foreign billionaire dark money" are influencing an advocacy campaign in the US against data centers. "Reminder: the datacenter discourse is a documented psyop and they're winning," Tan wrote. Trae Stephens, a cofounder of Anduril Industries, said on X that data center backlash is the result of Americans "being poisoned by CCP propaganda." "It's almost like not banning TikTok has had real world consequences," Stephens wrote, appearing to reference the short-form video platform's Chinese ownership. Joe Lonsdale, a cofounder of Palantir, wrote in a reply to Stephens' post that "China has identified a key weak point in our open society in this area, and juiced it with the equivalent of steroids." Though data center construction is key to maintaining American technological dominance over rival countries like China, evidence of actual Chinese interference is scant. An American Energy Institute report from April found that anti-data-center groups in the US have received $39 million in foreign funding, with a "substantial portion" of that money coming from individual philanthropists in Europe. Earlier this summer, Fox News issued an apology after Kevin O'Leary said opponents of his Utah data center were working with China. Fox News host Johnny Joey Jones said there was "no evidence" that the groups referenced by O'Leary were funded by or working in coordination with the Chinese Communist Party. Bad optics. Chamath Palihapitiya, a prominent venture capitalist in Silicon Valley, said on X on Thursday that tech leaders have "failed miserably" in winning over the public on data centers. By filling the air with "arcane technical jargon," Chamath said CEOs are confusing the public and breeding skepticism. "Data centers have unfortunately become THE symbolic representation of the asymmetric upside for a very narrow tech elite and a class that are untrustworthy," Palihapitiya wrote. Tech leaders like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei have repeatedly issued dire warnings about the potential impact of AI over the last year. Amodei famously said it would wipe out half of all entry-level jobs. Both companies have recently publicized worrisome behavior from their models during testing. Some of their rivals, like Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, have criticized them for such messaging, encouraging them to talk more about the potential upsides of the technology. Amodei recently denied that his warnings were part of the problem in a lengthy X post. "I do not agree that my messaging has been disproportionately negative," he wrote. He went on to say that "actually curing cancer" was likely the only way to change public perception. Wong, in the same breath in which he said Americans can't do math, also said that "not taking responsibility" for the data center backlash isn't doing tech leaders any favors. Correction: Aug. 22, 2026 - This story has been updated to reflect the correct spelling of Anduril Industries.
Reddit has joined the S&P 500, replacing AvalonBay Communities after its merger with Equity Residential. The social media company's shares have surged 365% since its IPO two years ago. Reddit reported strong second-quarter results, with revenue up 61% year-over-year and adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to 42.6%. The company repurchased $235 million in shares, and earnings per share climbed 178%. However, shares declined following the earnings report due to concerns about AI disruption. Daily active users in the US fell sequentially, potentially impacted by Google's AI Overviews reducing platform traffic. Reddit positions itself as an alternative to AI chatbots, offering human community-based responses. Management aims to grow from 23 million to 100 million logged-in US users and reach 1 billion globally.
Reddit turns text posts into AI videos: how the test works. Reddit is testing AI-generated audio and video versions of selected text posts while keeping the original conversations intact. Image generated by ChatGPT/OpenAI Reddit is testing AI-narrated versions of selected text posts, with Read/Play controls that keep the original thread intact. Here's how the experiment works. Aug 18, 2026 We may earn from vendors via affiliate links or sponsorships. This might affect product placement on our site, but not the content of our reviews. See our Terms of Use for details. Reddit is testing a new way to consume its text-heavy conversations: AI-generated audio and video versions of existing posts. The experiment uses synthetic voices to read posts and selected comments aloud while highlighting the corresponding text on screen. The feature became available on the web on August 17, with the iOS and Android rollout beginning August 18. Reddit says the test is limited to selected English-language posts in selected communities, and the company is manually choosing which posts are included. How Reddit's AI narration works. A "Read" view shows the original thread, while "Play" launches the narrated version. The original post and comments remain available, and users can still reply to the thread as usual. According to The Verge, the AI voice reads the post and selected comments while text is highlighted on screen. Reddit also labels the experience "Real conversation voiced by AI," making clear that the words came from human users even though the narration did not. One example involved an eight-year-old r/boardgames thread asking for road trip game recommendations. Reddit turned the post and responses into a roughly three-minute narrated video, showing that the experiment can reach well beyond newly published discussions. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman previewed the idea during the company's July earnings call, pointing to podcasts and other formats where people already read Reddit conversations aloud. The experiment fits into Reddit's changing relationship with AI search and content distribution as new formats reshape the value of user-generated discussions. What teams should watch as the test expands. The biggest unknown is selection. Reddit is manually choosing posts for the experiment, but it has not disclosed the criteria it uses or whether authors and commenters can opt out of having their words narrated by AI. Accuracy is another open question. The Verge noted that automated narration could mispronounce words or associate a comment with the wrong user. Neither Reddit nor the current reporting explains what correction process would apply if a narration gets something wrong. Those questions are relevant for community managers, support teams, and companies that monitor Reddit for product feedback or brand mentions. An older thread can now be repackaged into a new format without changing the underlying conversation, potentially giving past discussions a new audience. The experiment also comes as platforms tighten rules around AI content labeling, AI-generated video, and low-quality content. Reddit's approach is different because it is not generating the original conversation. It is generating the voice and presentation around it. Reddit has not announced how broadly the feature will expand. The next details to watch are which posts become eligible, whether users get opt-out controls, and how Reddit handles narration errors as the experiment grows.

Reddit tests AI audio and video posts as the platform chases its own story format. Reddit is testing AI-generated audio and video versions of text posts, and the move feels like the platform trying to reclaim a format that other social networks have been mining from it for years. The company is experimenting with tools that can turn posts and comments into audio and video experiences, according to Engadget. The Verge also reports that Reddit is exploring AI-made formats that could make long text threads easier to consume beyond the traditional feed. This is not coming from nowhere. For years, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels have been full of narrated Reddit posts, often paired with game footage or simple visuals. Creators discovered that Reddit stories can travel well when turned into short audio-video content. Reddit now appears to be asking why that value should live mostly outside Reddit. The idea is simple. A long post or comment thread can become something a user listens to while commuting, cooking or scrolling casually. A video version can make text feel more native to the short-form feeds where younger users already spend time. AI makes that conversion cheaper and faster than hiring narrators or editors for each post. For Reddit, the business logic is clear. The company wants more engagement, more formats and more advertising surfaces. It also wants to make its massive text archive useful in a media environment increasingly shaped by video and audio. Written communities remain Reddit's core, but consumption habits are changing. There are risks. Reddit is built on community context, tone, sarcasm, moderation norms and user identity. Turning posts into AI audio or video could flatten that context or make sensitive threads feel like entertainment. A dramatic voiceover may work for a funny story, but it may be inappropriate for grief, trauma, legal advice or health discussions. There are also creator and consent questions. Reddit posts are written by users, not by Reddit's editorial staff. If the platform turns a user's words into a video or audio product, users will want to know how attribution works, whether they can opt out and whether AI narration changes the meaning of what they wrote. This fits a wider pattern. Platforms are using AI not only to generate new content, but to repackage existing content into more consumable forms. Techbooky recently wrote about Google's AI watermark debate, and Reddit's experiment sits in the same broader conversation: AI is changing not just creation, but presentation and trust. The move also matters because Reddit has become more aggressive about the value of its data. It has signed licensing deals with AI companies and pushed back against scraping. If its communities produce valuable stories and conversations, Reddit wants more control over how that material becomes media. The test may or may not become a mainstream feature, but the direction is clear. Text platforms are no longer comfortable staying text-only. Audio and video are where attention keeps moving, and AI gives platforms a cheap bridge from one format to another. Reddit's challenge will be making that bridge useful without making its communities feel harvested. Related reading.
