Source for Reddit hiring more than average tech company? I feel like every tech company scaled up in the bull market and then trimmed back down when hype subsided. For example, Google grew by 72,000 between 2019 and 2022 and has since shed about 20,000. Reddit is IPOing next month. IMHO they cut public API access as a way to simplify and pump bookkeeping numbers to get a better listing price.
