#2Reddit is my warning flag when AI gives me an answer. If I see Reddit linked, I know to disregard the answer entirely. They may as well be scraping 4chan.

#7I chceked the past price and, yes, the stock is back to what was it back in March this year.

And there were swings close to as big as today since then.
Not really much of news then.

Proof besides Reddit’s CEO considering biometrics to validate humans to combat bot spam?
While our beliefs on this topic are irrelevant, it matters to those who might sign contracts with Reddit for their data for LLM training, otherwise they can generate slop to train on internally versus paying for Reddit’s slop from bot accounts. Reddit has limited enterprise value based on their low quality ads business, so proving humans are human is existential to the business.
Their only value is capturing adults discussing various topics and selling access to that data as a product at the present moment.
