Â As a platform, it has faced various criticism for spreading misinformation.

Nevertheless, it remains one of the most popular social media platforms. Â With the help of Reddit Statistics, we will discuss some interesting aspects.

The most popular post featured on Reddit was posted in the subreddit r/places with over 434 thousand upvotes. The post shows the full screenshot of the 2022's r/place April's Fool traditional collective artwork that Redditors created. Since 2017 Redditors come together to create an original pixel art piece in the popular subreddit, with thousands of users participating every year. The second most popular post was "In 1996 Ukraine handed over nuclear weapons to Russia "in exchange for a guarantee never to be threatened or invaded" and was awarded more than 403.5 thousand upvotes.

In the six months ending March 2024, the United States accounted for 48.46 percent of traffic to the online forum Reddit.com. The United Kingdom was ranked second, accounting for 7.16 percent of web visits to the social media platform. Reddit in the United States In August 2023, Reddit accounted for slightly over 1.6 percent of social media website traffic in the United States. Founded in 2005, Reddit is a discussion website which enables users to aggregate news by posting links and let other users vote and comment on them. There are thousands of subforums, called subreddits, on a wide range of topics available. One of the most popular subreddits is the AMA (“Ask Me Anything”), where celebrities, public figures or people in unique positions post threads that allow other Reddit users to ask them anything.

However, the reach of the social platform strongly declines with age. Also, whilst around a 23 of male adults in the U.S. access Reddit, only 12 percent of women do the same.

Reddit Engagement Dataset (RED), a distant-supervision set, with 80k single-turn conversations. RED is sourced from Reddit, sampling from 43 popular subreddits, and processed from a total of 5 million posts, filtering out data that was either non-conversational, toxic, or posts not possible to ascertain popularity.

According to a survey of adults in the United States in 2024, 46 percent of respondents who used Reddit were aged between 19 and 29 years. Reddit usage tends to be affected by users’ age, with older users reporting lower levels of engagement. Reddit engagement in numbers Reddit is one of the most popular websites in the forum category, allowing users to interact in multiple close-knitted communities organized in sub-threads and divided by topics. In March 2024, Reddit.com registered an average of 2.2 billion monthly visits from desktop and mobile combined. Reddit users are mostly based in North America, with the United States accounting for the biggest share of traffic worldwide by far. The future of Reddit Reddit was created in 2005, was redesigned for the very first time in 2018 to make it more appealing to new users and increase engagement from non-participating guests (jokingly called “lurkers”) who nonetheless enjoy the content. In February 2024, the company announced it was entering the public market by releasing its S-1 registration statement. In 2024, the company generated around 1.3 billion U.S. dollars worldwide in revenues. This translated into an average revenue per user (ARPU) of around 4.21 dollars in the last quarter of 2024.

As of February 2026, ******* was the most popular community on the platform, with approximately ** million subscribers. Subreddit *********** ranked second, with approximately ** million registered Reddit users subscribing to the community. Subreddits are thematic communities in which registered users can publish posts and comment on other users' posted content. Users receive awards and likes (called 'upvotes') for notable or popular comments and posts. Reddit IPO: how does Reddit make money? Launched in 2005, Reddit is the self-proclaimed “front page of the internet” and one of the largest social forums available to global users. In 2023, the platform generated over ** percent of its revenues via online advertising. In April 2023, the company announced it was monetizing third-party access to its API, thus creating a new revenue stream. After the announcement, Reddit did not have to wait too long to attract AI-based companies in need of training their artificial intelligence models. At the beginning of 2024, it was reported that Reddit had struck a 60-million-dollar deal with Google to license its large human interaction repository. Despite experiencing almost ** million U.S. dollars in net losses in 2023, Reddit decided to enter the public market on March **, 2024, at approximately ** U.S. dollars per share. Social media IPOs The largest social media IPO recorded in the last 15 years was Facebook, valued at over *** billion U.S. dollars upon its entrance into the public U.S. market in 2012.

REDDIT-BINARY consists of graphs corresponding to online discussions on Reddit. In each graph, nodes represent users, and there is an edge between them if at least one of them respond to the other’s comment. There are four popular subreddits, namely, IAmA, AskReddit, TrollXChromosomes, and atheism. IAmA and AskReddit are two question/answer based subreddits, and TrollXChromosomes and atheism are two discussion-based subreddits. A graph is labeled according to whether it belongs to a question/answer-based community or a discussion-based community.

The dataset is extracted from the subreddit /r/AskScience from Reddit. The data was collected between 01-01-2016 and 20-05-2022. It contains 612,668 Datapoints and 25 Columns. The database contains a number of information about the questions asked on the subreddit, the description of the submission, the flair of the question, NSFW or SFW status, the year of the submission, and more. The data is extracted using python and Pushshift's API. A little bit of cleaning is done using NumPy and pandas as well. (see the descriptions of individual columns below).

The dataset contains the following columns and descriptions: author - Redditor Name author_fullname - Redditor Full name contest_mode - Contest mode [implement obscured scores and randomized sorting]. created_utc - Time the submission was created, represented in Unix Time. domain - Domain of submission. edited - If the post is edited or not. full_link - Link of the post on the subreddit. id - ID of the submission. is_self - Whether or not the submission is a self post (text-only). link_flair_css_class - CSS Class used to identify the flair. link_flair_text - Flair on the post or The link flair’s text content. locked - Whether or not the submission has been locked. num_comments - The number of comments on the submission. over_18 - Whether or not the submission has been marked as NSFW. permalink - A permalink for the submission. retrieved_on - time ingested. score - The number of upvotes for the submission. description - Description of the Submission. spoiler - Whether or not the submission has been marked as a spoiler. stickied - Whether or not the submission is stickied. thumbnail - Thumbnail of Submission. question - Question Asked in the Submission. url - The URL the submission links to, or the permalink if a self post. year - Year of the Submission. banned - Banned by the moderator or not.

History

From Wikipedia: On March 28, 2022, a reboot of Place was announced. It began on April 1, 2022, and lasted for four days. Unlike in 2017, individual subreddits immediately began to coordinate pixel art; in large part due to this, and the increased number of users on Reddit between the two experiments. Different communities collaborated and formed alliances through Discord as well as subreddits. Large streamers on Twitch also participated by instructing thousands of their viewers to mark their logos and symbols. In response to the project's popularity, Reddit doubled the canvas's size and expanded the color palette on days 2 and 3. On the fourth day, the palette was reduced to only white, with which the entire canvas was blanked.
