Every day, Reddit<\/a> reaches 97M daily active unique users \u2014 a phenomenal 47% growth over 2024.<\/p>\n

It is currently the third-most visited site in the U.S., sits proudly at the top of many Google searches when people are hunting for information or advice, and is a major way to connect with communities around shared interests.<\/p>\n

Reddit’s success can be attributed to its offering something different from your traditional social media<\/a> platforms, often propped up by influencers and marketing.<\/p>\n

It’s anonymous, moderated by users, and not follower-driven, which leads to a privacy-focused community holding authentic conversations online. Many people would rather give you their Facebook or X profile than share their Reddit username.<\/p>\n

But how does Reddit think about Reddit itself? What has changed over 19 years? And how does it operate in a world where artificial intelligence<\/a> is placing its footprints over every corner?<\/p>\n

Techopedia spoke with Jen Wong, Chief Operating Officer of Reddit, to learn more about how Reddit handles privacy, AI, its startling user growth, making revenue, and nuanced advertising.<\/p>\n
