Summary
Reddit shares have dropped 50% from their February peak, when the stock had soared over 500% from its $34 IPO price last March.
Much of the early enthusiasm came from AI-related deals allowing Reddit’s content to be used for training models, but recent doubts about long-term growth in the AI sector have dimmed that optimism.
Analysts remain skeptical and some call the stock “super overvalued,” noting Reddit still is not making any money.
Market uncertainty and early investor sell-offs continue to weigh on Reddit and the broader tech sector.
Half of reddit comments are all bots , and many posts are AI generated
5 years ago there were entire subreddits of bot only discussions while they were training. Do you know of those? We had tons of discussions on them. This started before the LLM craze too.

do not see the ones predating some LLMs though but anyway yea I think it was obvious what was coming
