>Just like there is a youtube generation (grew up on youtube) there is a reddit generation in the works. I'm not sure "in the works" is correct. Although they were founded around the same time, reddit is older as a social media platform than YouTube. I'd say the reddit demographic is those around ~30 years old, give or take a few years. I don't think young people/teenagers use it as a "go to" (like I do). All this is to say, I'm not sure if there's a growth story here. My bet would be on stagnation.

> I don't think young people/teenagers use it as a "go to" (like I do). I was a bit surprised to hear advertising for "reddit the site" towards a younger audience.. but there was plenty of it during the recent counter-strike major league event in London. Many times throughout the programme they "organically" discussed how everyone wants to be at the top of reddit, how it is the place you wanna be, etc. They obviously took money for it. I'd link videos, but the faceittv twitch channel is subscribers only. I would not be surprised if they are marketing in similar ways for other e-sports. Aside, but another counter-strike event (eleague iirc) recently had an actual uniformed army officer handing out trophy to the winners. That I found truly distasteful. That said, my bet for reddit is also on stagnation.
