Reddit just turned a profit for the first time. As part of its third quarter earnings results released on Tuesday, the company reported a profit of $29.9 million, along with $348.4 million in revenue — a 68 percent increase year over year.

The company hasn’t been profitable at any point in its nearly 20-year history. Since going public, Reddit lost $575 million during its first quarter on the market, but it decreased that loss to $10 million last quarter and is now finally in the black.

Reddit’s advertising revenue grew to $315.1 million, while “other” revenue reached $33.2 million on account of “data licensing agreements signed earlier this year.” Both Google and OpenAI have cut deals with Reddit to train their AI models on its posts.

How do I find this type of job

I work for outlier.ai

I wouldnt recommend it as anything other then a side gig. My month by month income from it has been insanely inconsistent. I either have no work at all or a ton of work and lucrative bonuses. And getting onboarded and trained is insane and the company is authoritarian as fuck
