The BATTLEGROUND: Scrollers vs Seekers

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman just dropped a TRUTH BOMB about two types of users:

• SCROLLERS: The community addicts living in r/sourdough and r/popculturechat
• SEEKERS: The Google refugees typing “Reddit” after every search query

“We haven’t built a product for them… until NOW.”

REDDIT ANSWERS: The AI JUGGERNAUT

This isn’t just another chatbot – it’s a 1 MILLION USER phenomenon in just 5 months. Here’s why it’s DOMINATING:

• 🔥 Already expanded to 5 countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, India)
• 🚀 Integrated into Reddit’s navigation bar as standalone experience
• 💡 Serving up verbatim answers AND smart summaries from real Reddit discussions

THE 2025 BLUEPRINT: How Reddit Plans to CRUSH IT

Huffman isn’t playing defense – he’s going ALL IN with these killer moves:

• Search Box Takeover: Full query capability coming to main search
• First-Time User Domination: Answers as the gateway drug to Reddit addiction
• Google Insurance Policy: Summarized answers to keep users coming back directly

“The Search ecosystem is under heavy construction… expect more bumps than usual.”

THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE: Wall Street is BUZZING

Reddit just dropped financials that would make any tech CEO jealous:

• 📈 $392.4M revenue (61% YoY growth!)
• 💰 $115.3M adjusted EBITDA
• 👥 108.1M daily active users (31% surge year-over-year)

THE BOTTOM LINE: This Is Just the Beginning

With Q2 projections of $410-430M revenue and Reddit Answers gaining steam, one thing is clear: The platform that mastered communities is now coming for Google’s lunch. And judging by those million weekly users, people are HUNGRY for what Reddit’s serving.
