What changed

Reddit Answers, its AI search feature, grew to 15 million weekly users from 1 million a year ago.

CFO Andrew Vollero said the company is actively seeking adtech acquisitions, noting that acquired capabilities have saved six to twelve months in market time. Multiple brands told Reddit they are reorganising social teams specifically around Reddit because threads rank well in LLMs and AI Overviews.
