    I bet in a decade it comes out that all of this is just bot generated traffic designed to impress advertisers.

    Reminds me of the dude on YouTube music that scammed a bunch of money by having bots make music then had bots listen to the music…

    Reddit’s global daily active unique users, or DAUq, rose 17% year-over-year to 126.8 million for the quarter, ahead of analyst estimates of 125.9 million. The company’s U.S. specific DAUq came in at 53.5 million in the first quarter, representing a 7% year-over-year increase.

    And they’re not bots. Believe!
