A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.

I'm guessing it'll do pretty well, at least initially. There's got to be a whole lot of investors out there who just want to get in on the new big tech IPO and still jump in. I'm not convinced the WSB crew will really move the dial. Yeah it'd be an amusing and salutary lesson if the IPO shits the bed but I can't see it happening. I'm no expert tho!

They lost about $90M in 2023, seems like a really bad investment. But yeah, it probably will do well, at least for a while, because it's all just gambling and BS.
