Reddit is raising a huge round near a $3B valuation
The HackerNews community is more appreciative of these problems than Reddit&#x27;s. But Reddit <i>will</i> suffer from the same problems that Facebook and Twitter suffer from, if not already. Reddit users are easily manipulated by engineered content and engineering content on Reddit is not hard if you know what you&#x27;re doing. Evidently, there are power-users on Reddit (e.g. &#x2F;u&#x2F;GallowBoob) who know exactly how Reddit ticks and can get practically anything to the front page in front of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people.<p>Reddit is huge -- I suspect they will be bigger than Facebook (maybe not in valuation, but usage) in the next 7 years and these problems will only be exacerbated. Facebook isn&#x27;t what 12-13 year olds today are interested in. Reddit is a more apt model for online discourse and culture than Facebook ever was.
