    Only use money you are willing to lose

        Yeah for sure, but I say it here to imply that it would be a loss. Maybe I’m just on the hate train but I’ve not seen a true way that Reddit’s fundamentals as a company can be anything but very short term performance. I think they have a very limited time to milk their existing content, and the enshittification is not helping bring much more in.

        It’s an unrelated industry, but I encourage you to look at Rivian’s IPO. Bought a couple shares for fun and small spike for a day or so then tank all the way to the ground. Mr. Spez is gonna pump and dump and run away with your cash IMO.

          Why did Rivians tank?

          I like what they’re doing with their vehicles, and I hadn’t heard anything particularly damning about them

            Me too, I think their products are exceptional for an early company. It was pumped high initially due to Tesla hype and investors Looking at their stock as the next potential Tesla (200x appreciation). That bubble passed shortly after the IPO, though, and unfortunately, Rivian had reported missing production and delivery targets for a few quarters in a row, increased expenses, like the rest of the industry, and generally not performing compared to what they told investors to anticipate.

            They’ve had difficulty recovering since then and the share price is trading at about 1/10th of the IPO price.
