Deep dives
Reddit's Foundation and Early Challenges
Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, the founders of Reddit, started the company in 2005 after coming up with the idea during a road trip to Boston. They initially envisioned creating a mobile menu service, but later changed their focus to building a community-driven website. Reddit faced various challenges and crises along the way, including toxic users and abusive content. The founders eventually sold the company to Conde Nast for millions of dollars, but later reconnected and decided to return to Reddit to address the ongoing issues.
