Reddit runs a user-moderated discussion network, was bought by Condé Nast in 2006, later spun out, and went public in 2024. Investors read it for a platform whose content and moderation are supplied free by users, and for the tension that creates when the company tries to monetise. Lagorio-Chafkin's We Are the Nerds is the main reported history of the founders and the site.
