Reddit is a social news aggregation, community discussion, and content rating platform organized into user-created topic communities called subreddits. It went public in March 2024 partly by monetizing its vast content corpus through AI data licensing deals with Google and others. The platform hosts hundreds of thousands of communities and is widely used as a source of organic discussion, though it has also been noted for bot-driven spam and astroturfing activity in comment sections.
