Reddit's cofounder Steve Huffman said in its early days he filled up most of the site with content using different accounts until it got more users.

Now the social media platform is aiming for an IPO in the first quarter of 2024 with a valuation of $15 billion, and has been in talks with potential investors like Goldman Sachs and and Morgan Stanley, per Bloomberg.

    He has zero interest in Reddit past the IPO. Even if it bombs, he’s gonna make a fortune. If it sells for 1% of that 15 billion valuation it’ll have grown 15x in value since it was sold in the 2000s.

    He’s no longer a 50 percent owner, but he’s going to do well in this no matter what, and will never need to work another day in his life.
