The INSANE story of Reddit - the history of how Reddit started, how Reddit became popular and such a successful business, and how the Reddit founders built a billion dollar company from nothing. This is in some ways a rags to riches business story, going from broke college students to extremely rich. But we'll also explore the Reddit API controversy and several other reddit scandals and issues - along with incredible Reddit-inspired events like the Wallstreetbets gamestop stock saga. With Reddit's own IPO on the horizon, let's look at where Reddit is now at.

Alexis Ohanian needed a plan, and he needed it fast. His senior year of college was approaching and he had no clue what he wanted to do with his life. Luckily his best friend, Steve Huffman, came to him with what sounded like a million dollar business idea. And then that business totally crashed and burned. So, how did two broke college kids with a failed business end up creating one of the most popular websites ever? And what really happened to Reddit’s forgotten founder who nobody talks about? Reddit’s history is filled with scandals, lies, money, and death. As Reddit has been involved in countless controversies - including its own users turning against the site. But it’s time for the truth. Welcome to the insane story of Reddit by MagnatesMedia - home of business documentaries, business mini movies and stories about big companies & entrepreneurs.

    Hearing that the first ever subreddit made was the NSFW sub is the most Reddit thing I’ve ever heard.
  • @eiavops4576
    ‘He was bullied relentlecy for his weight’ he truly is the ceo of reddit
  • Aaron Swartz was a remarkable individual who profoundly impacted the world in a relatively brief period, largely unnoticed by the general public. His contributions, though often unrecognized, have left a lasting legacy in the digital realm
  • @Sevenigma777
    Aaron Shwartz was one of those people who really changed the world in such a short time without even being known by the average person
  • @Milen983
    My huge respect to Aaron Schwartz. So truly sad death. The guy was a huge deal to fight for internet freedom. Hope one day his visions will come true.
  • @SilverFenixFyre
    thank YOU for not being yet another creepy, awkward AI-voiced channel, but one with an authentic voice behind it. 😉
  • @beltfandan7209
    The huge influx of users to Reddit happened after Digg changed the design of their site which was largely thought of as impossible to navigate.
  • @BizVoyages
    Wow, this video on Reddit's history really opened my eyes to how intricate and eventful its journey has been. It's particularly poignant when you mentioned Aaron Swartz, whose contributions and tragic story are such a significant part of internet history. His legacy in shaping the early internet and advocating for open access to information is both inspiring and heartrending. Videos like yours are essential in reminding us of the human stories behind these massive tech platforms. Thanks for sharing this well-researched piece and for honoring figures like Swartz who have left an indelible mark. Looking forward to more content like this!
  • @dubstified
    To be able to put the time and effort you and your team put into these videos is amazing. The stuff you make is better than what you’d find on Netflix. Amazing work!
  • @TheMILVSCR
    I love how there's so much support in the Reddit communities. I had to hang some sun sails in a large equestrian area because the area is used for "equestrian therapy" for a teen rehabilitation program. I was able to find a sub-Reddit community that helped give me some great ideas. And being able to interact with fellow geeks about the MCU, NFL, soccer, etc is awesome.
  • @Insect...
    Bro the Consistency with these very high effort required videos is really commendable!!
  • @mtrbrn
    Been subscribed for quite sometime now, can definitely say your content quality is improving significantly with every video. Keep up the good work!
  • @CTP909
    Definitely my favorite business investigative journalism YouTuber
  • @OoMikkioO
    watching this I'm amazed that it used to be a platform to speak freely on. Whenever I go on reddit it seems like every sub has rules upon rules and you have to be careful not to post something you're not allowed to post (i.e. if someone has posted it before, even ten years ago, don't you dare ask again). Which made me never want to join reddit as an active user. I go there if I have nowhere else to go to get answers but I usually won't get my answer there either lol
  • @cheerfulsatanist
    " lively conversations and debates" is possibly the single kindest way I've ever heard anyone describe the comment section of ANYTHING, let alone reddit.
