    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.

Squawk

This is truly the best morning show around. Andrew and Becky are great but Joe is the secret sauce that makes the show outstanding. When Joe is off, it’s just not the same. I enjoy the banter and irreverence. They all call it like it is.

Tired of Joe Kernen

Joe is like the cranky right wing grandpa and sometimes really drags down segments. He talks over and shouts down Becky, Andrew and even guests when the discussion veers into politics. Often quotes at length WSJ editorials—is he on Rupert Murdoch’s payroll or does Rupert pay CNBC directly? The show would be way more substantive without him. Andrew and Becky should go file harassment claims with HR—it’s not funny or entertaining. Joe needs to go. Why is he allowed to so actively promote Trump. Joe should be sent to Fox News.

The best morning show.

I’m a huge fan. I enjoy the political banter between Andrew and joe. And I laugh when Becky jumps in to make peace. Joe is the smartest republican around and I sometimes even agree with him. But Andrew is always right in the mark. Keep it up guys.
