Thanks for sharing.

But investors then will be buying Reddit on a leap of faith, rather than old-fashioned discipline.

Hopefully they won't

I don’t know many investors but the ones I do know would never take a leap of faith like this. This is almost guaranteed money loss. Maybe Steve is fighting against the 1% in his own way. God bless you Huffman, god bless you.

It wouldn't surprise me if Reddit's own popular investment sub changes their stance on short selling for this one stock. I'm not sure what it's been like since the exodusish, but when I was still on there the Reddit IPO was treated as a joke.
