Reddit Is Raising Funds at a Valuation of $1.7B

Reddit is very different from other social/consumer tech companies in that they are a very small company. Last I heard, they are somewhere around 200 employees. Compare that to how many employees twitter has and you'll notice that actually reddit is evolving their product at a pretty fast pace for the size of the company.

Additionally, from the various threads on reddit that I've seen people post about the company. They've done a lot of work on the background to reduce spam, which isn't something that is super obvious to someone not specifically looking to spam the site.

Valve has less than 400 employees too.

This thread is full of comments that at first seem appropriate, but quickly reveal to be utter fluff/rubbish. Count this comment in that category too.

I was replying to the above comment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_Corporation for the source of the number of employees. Your comment is more useless than mine since it does not provide any information and just a bland opinion out of nowhere.
