I dunno there have been rumours that their IPO is just around the corner for years now, idk how they justify it reddit just isn’t set up for that sort of growth model. Its users (at least before all the nonsense) I’d say are on average more likely to use 3rd party apps, ad blockers and not engage with the kind of activity that normally creates revinue (thats frankly why I’m here I’m a reddit refugee from appolo). My guess is all this activity is prep for going public but I just can’t see it going well.
It’s basically when a private corporation goes public and offers shares of their company to the public for the first time, as well as listing on a major stock exchange. It’s worth noting that private corporations can issue stock to individual shareholders, those shares just aren’t traded on the open market.
You won’t, at least not before they get some mid-level fish on the hook. IPOs, anymore, are corporate pump-and-dumps where the C-level management and initial investors get a ton of shares before the IPO drop, wait for the price to jump after launch, then dump a portion of those shares for more than they initially invested. All the while leaving little investors, and those falling for FUD, out to dry.
Within the first few days of the IPO, after an initial surge, you’ll see it start to drop quickly as those initial investors sell at the top. It’ll go up and up and people will think they need to get in on this shit, only to basically see the floor fall out as soon as they bite.
Also, someone mentioned shorting them, but the underlying shares won’t have options available for some time after IPO.
when is the IPO (what is an ipo) happening? i want to see their stock graph fall and jerk off to it

Reddit was a nice upgrade to usenet newsgroups
IPO = Initial Public Offering

Some good IPOs cause the stock price to shoot up as soon as it’s listed. I fully expect reddit’s to drop.
