News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yes. I had the chance to buy into the IPO with my old, dead account so I had some extra cash that I could invest/gamble with so I pickup a few shares and I put in a reminder to sell at the end of the lock out phase.
I mean you can hate reddit all you want, I'm not active on the site myself outside of a few niche communities that don't have active home here but I personally don't have qualms about making some money off of reddit if I can.
How long is the lockout period?
Piggy boy etc have a 180 day lock.
What about the incentive investors? The Reddit members that got the early invitation?
No idea
It's honestly more that investing in a company that hasn't been profitable for 20 years and has had the CEO admit they don't know how to properly turn a profit doesn't strike me as a good investment.
I'm not saying you should get out, your money is your business of course but you may want to look at how other IPOs performed immediately after release. The ones I know of are CRSR(CORSAIR GAMING), OLPX(OLAPLEX), and RR(RICHTECH ROBOTICS). All three of these spiked dramatically up after the initial offering, then crashed to less than half the price of the initial offering ( except CRSR which is at offering price currently).
Now these aren't the same industries of course so things could differ but I would be surprised if it did. The selling of data for LLMs(AI) is very limited IMO mainly because the more AI generated content reddit has the worst the model will be for the LLMs and AI content is pretty high right now. RDDT just does not have good fundamentals for an investment, public sentiment is super low already and now viable alternatives are popping up like lemmy. I am also sure that now they are public reddit will only get shittier for the user leading to a lost base.
I am not a financial advisor, this is just my opinion. I would personally get out relatively soon after you capture some profits and not look back. Again I'm not trying to tell you what to do but I would strongly consider these things. Best of luck and I hope you get some nice gains from it!
So for me I have no faith in the company, I'm just making a bet with some extra money, and again it's just my fun money to see if my theory that wall street is freaking insane and just still just chases after tech.
There's no expectation that this will pay out big, if at all, and losing this little bit of cash won't break me.
