It isn’t a miracle. The site uses an unusual land grab / moderator power structure in the subs. Reddit “pays” moderators through cachet to do unreasonable amounts of work. Then, Reddit runs ads between all the highly curated posts, earning revenue off the backs of these mods. It wasn’t so bad a few years back. The ads were mild and there were zero dark patterns. Today, the setup seems more off balance than Amazon delivery driving was this spring. It makes sense an IPO would be planned, they are pumping revenue.
