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.

    I was there for diggs death. I was a young college student.

    I held off on Reddit and enjoyed a lack of that style of addiction for like 2 years. Then slowly reddit consumed me.

    I haven’t been back for anything but porn since the API-pocalypse.

        It’s getting better. Not nearly as much content but also not nearly as much only fans click bait.

        So it’s ok, but reddits quantity has Lemmy’s quality beaten.
