Moderating Reddit: the IPO, the Community, & a History of Bad Blood 03/22/24

Reddit, after 19 years, is a public company. After listing on the NYSE, shares of the social media platform popped, pushing the market cap to $9.5B. The company offered some of its users and moderators an opportunity to buy into the IPO, but CNBC.com reporter Jonathan Vanian explains that many chose not to do so. In a conversation exclusive to Squawk Pod, Vanian recounts the long, complicated road to a Reddit debut, and he looks ahead to the risks that remain in the tenuous dynamic between Reddit leadership and moderators with a history of revolt. One of those moderators, Courtnie Swearingen, co-led a Reddit moderator protest in 2015 and explains her hopes and concerns for Reddit’s future. CNBC’s Kate Rogers explains the productivity gap in this work-from-home era, and CNBC’s Steve Kovach explains the Department of Justice’s antitrust lawsuit against Apple. Plus, airline CEOs want a meeting with Boeing’s board–but not with its CEO.
