The INSANE story of Reddit - the history of how Reddit started, how Reddit became popular and such a successful business, and how the Reddit founders built a billion dollar company from nothing. This is in some ways a rags to riches business story, going from broke college students to extremely rich. But we'll also explore the Reddit API controversy and several other reddit scandals and issues - along with incredible Reddit-inspired events like the Wallstreetbets gamestop stock saga. With Reddit's own IPO on the horizon, let's look at where Reddit is now at.
Alexis Ohanian needed a plan, and he needed it fast. His senior year of college was approaching and he had no clue what he wanted to do with his life. Luckily his best friend, Steve Huffman, came to him with what sounded like a million dollar business idea. And then that business totally crashed and burned. So, how did two broke college kids with a failed business end up creating one of the most popular websites ever? And what really happened to Reddit’s forgotten founder who nobody talks about? Reddit’s history is filled with scandals, lies, money, and death. As Reddit has been involved in countless controversies - including its own users turning against the site. But it’s time for the truth. Welcome to the insane story of Reddit by MagnatesMedia - home of business documentaries, business mini movies and stories about big companies & entrepreneurs.

Hearing that the first ever subreddit made was the NSFW sub is the most Reddit thing I’ve ever heard.
it truly was a reddit moment
Makes all sense in the world.

Yeah but his company became a bully back
Aaron Swartz was a remarkable individual who profoundly impacted the world in a relatively brief period, largely unnoticed by the general public. His contributions, though often unrecognized, have left a lasting legacy in the digital realm
More people need to hear his story
this comment sounds like it was generated by chatgpt
@@mrwan5348I feel like it was because of the very well written grammar and then the missing period at the end, they probably forgot to copy the period lol
Pretty sad when people type out words in full, do a complete sentence that's well structured is looked at as not being from a person. Some people are still intelligent folks
@@woodworkingandepoxy643no it just feels like there's no personality behind it; that said... i could be wrong
Aaron Shwartz was one of those people who really changed the world in such a short time without even being known by the average person
Who? 😮
Yeah, Jews RARELY get the recognition THEY DESERVE...
@@honor9lite1337i think he misspelled arnold schwarzenegger. no idea why he'd bring him up though
@@tja4379😂😂😂😂

My huge respect to Aaron Schwartz. So truly sad death. The guy was a huge deal to fight for internet freedom. Hope one day his visions will come true.
You should watch The Internets own Boy. You can find it here.
People give him too much credit for reddit. He was literally not involved in reddit, he created no code for reddit, nor did he do any marketing or otherwise for reddit. He was part of a project that was merged into another project, then left shortly after. How do I know this? I was there at the very beginning of reddit, a fan of ycombinator.
@@Zidbits What was the beginning of reddit like, if I may ask?
@@ZidbitsOP literally didn’t say anything about Aaron Schwartz’s contributio to Reddit, but okay
You are permanently banned from reddit...
thank YOU for not being yet another creepy, awkward AI-voiced channel, but one with an authentic voice behind it. 😉
Wtf
@@diggacountr he is right tho
Yeah wtf is with these new AI voices channels? Even the NON ai voiced ones are covering the same sh!t in this endless sh!t cycle
Sadly, even being an expert in English doesn't automatically remove your accent, and we're all aware most accents get unjust hate/racism. I've met a huge number of insanely good content creators who cannot voice their own content/cannot afford to have a professional voice actor for their channel because they are not native english speakers, so they have to resort to cheap AI voice overs. The script, editing, content, and everything else can be done by literally anyone in this planet, except voice overs. Even some native English speakers have difficulty narrating.
@@jaames huh? What are you talking about? I am not even a native English speaker; I’m Argentinian- English is my second language…?
The huge influx of users to Reddit happened after Digg changed the design of their site which was largely thought of as impossible to navigate.
Wow, this video on Reddit's history really opened my eyes to how intricate and eventful its journey has been. It's particularly poignant when you mentioned Aaron Swartz, whose contributions and tragic story are such a significant part of internet history. His legacy in shaping the early internet and advocating for open access to information is both inspiring and heartrending. Videos like yours are essential in reminding us of the human stories behind these massive tech platforms. Thanks for sharing this well-researched piece and for honoring figures like Swartz who have left an indelible mark. Looking forward to more content like this!
well said
Why bro sound like chatgpt?
Another bot
@@davidohaegbulam9988yeaaah a little sketch
This is exactly how chatgpt talks 😂😂😂
To be able to put the time and effort you and your team put into these videos is amazing. The stuff you make is better than what you’d find on Netflix. Amazing work!
90% of stuff on RUclips is better than what you find on Netflix, dude.
@@Admiral_Bongotrue, still a compliment tho
the frequent use of high pitched sound effect in your videos makes my ears hurt 😭 it would be great to tone down a lil bit
I love how there's so much support in the Reddit communities. I had to hang some sun sails in a large equestrian area because the area is used for "equestrian therapy" for a teen rehabilitation program. I was able to find a sub-Reddit community that helped give me some great ideas. And being able to interact with fellow geeks about the MCU, NFL, soccer, etc is awesome.
Ahh, you mean r/equestriansunsailhangers
I can confirm from my experience. The r/foreskin_restoration sub has been amazingly supportive and helpful for new members. I also appreciate the fact that Reddit allows users to cite evidence, unlike RUclips which is so choked by algorithms for the comment section that I have pretty much decided to stop wasting my time here and focus exclusively on contributing to Reddit. Without being able to easily cite evidence, discussions and debates here seem almost completely limited to giving opinions. My only complaint with Reddit is that some subs are run by arbitrary mods who want to stop contributions from those who disagree with them by permanently banning them.
I tried Reddit on 3 occasions and was met with nothing but toxic elitist assholes who clearly spend their entire lives on that website and desperately want to gate keep their nasty little community, whilst also complaining that their "community" is dying.
Just as an anecdote I went on r/Magic and watched a few magic tricks. The first one I commented something along the lines of "Hey, that was good, but your sleight of hand needs some work as it's really clear when you're palming the card" the admin banned me immediately and sent me a message calling me a malignant narcissist 😂
@@harrydavey9884there are definitely people like that, but from my experience there’s more good than bad. You just gotta learn how to navigate around it.
Bro the Consistency with these very high effort required videos is really commendable!!
Been subscribed for quite sometime now, can definitely say your content quality is improving significantly with every video. Keep up the good work!
" lively conversations and debates" is possibly the single kindest way I've ever heard anyone describe the comment section of ANYTHING, let alone reddit.
Definitely my favorite business investigative journalism RUclipsr
Absolutely love the production quality!! You put the utmost level of effort into each and every one of your videos and its clear too see!! Easily my favorite channel on yt rn!!
Keep it up
I have a feeling Aaron was murdered.
He absolutely was
*insert eddie murphy thinking meme*
That meme ain't Eddie Murphy @@EE7A
@@jamdungvybz i know. you knew what i was talking about though. ;)
(inserts eddie murphy thinking meme again)
Same with Barnaby Jack, one of the most brilliant hackers of his era. Dude could "jackpot" ATMs and take all the cash, and figured out how to remotely hack certain models of pacemaker and insulin pump to cause them to malfunction and potentially *kill* the user. He never used this knowledge for evil though, and instead was a computer security expert. He was found dead of an apparent drug overdose in 2013.
You make such amazing videos, about interesting topics, with HIGH quality productions! Love your videos
watching this I'm amazed that it used to be a platform to speak freely on. Whenever I go on reddit it seems like every sub has rules upon rules and you have to be careful not to post something you're not allowed to post (i.e. if someone has posted it before, even ten years ago, don't you dare ask again). Which made me never want to join reddit as an active user. I go there if I have nowhere else to go to get answers but I usually won't get my answer there either lol
I joined reddit in its haydays.. early 2010s.. It used to be a place where actual information was available. It still does.. Albeit the meme, and political stuff has slowly overpowered the value aspect of it. Now you gotta really search deep to find a sub thats truly useful. I can imagine it to be pretty overwhelming for new users now.
Reddit is just like any other forum on the Internet, even more so when it comes to its mods and dwellers of any given sub. If you are in need of answers or information, don't post a question. Post a statement with a wrong/made-up answer and watch the nerds fall over themselves, racing to correct you, spilling out all the information you'll ever need in the process.
They're all bickering smart-asses who love to talk down to others as the only thing they have ever achieved in their sorry lives. Use that to your advantage. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
Can we just stop and also say thank you to John. For these amazing, interesting and high-quality videos.
Love these videos! The quality is unmatched!
Very glad that Aaron swatz got the recognition that he needs with your 1.24m subscribers!
recognition for what though? If anyone actually does real research, they will see Aaron wasn't part of reddit. He was working on his own thing and his project was merged into another. He had no interest in that other project (reddit) and quit shortly after. People are treating him like some martyr when he didn't just have nothing to do with reddit, he hated reddit because it meant the end of his own project.
@@Zidbitsfor internet freedom
when magnet media uploads a video i dont even care what the video is about, i can just watch it for the editing like the amount of effort they put to make these type of quality videos is just really great and i think even netflix should learn from this guy on how to make good documentaries
🧲Media
This guys voice is so soothing that I'd hear him talk about anything.
bro who is your editor? do you do all of it yourself? every time I watch one of your vids im blown away by how much work is put into the visuals
Someone edit it for him
@@Robin-ps9wqthen you asked if he did all of it himself 😐 he answered your question
Most RUclipsrs pay a video editor who creates these videos and visuals. Also they pay someone to record on cameras when they make live videos
You have to oat someone to do it. So much content
Yess!! another banger documentary-style video I can watch.
The way you told the story was awesome. Thank you for sharing.
I asked for a Case study on Reddit and here you are! Well done MagnatesMedia!
Its crazy how youtube has high quality videos like this
This will be a great one! Look forward to watching
Good job! Keep up the good work!
yesss! thank you. been waiting for this
In all fairness, Aaron is hardly forgotten as one of Reddit's founders. He is often left out of Reddit covers so I am really happy that you included him. What a remarkable human being. Thank you for a very good and interesting cover.
RIP Aron. He is sorely missed.
Amazing story. I never knew much about Reddit so I found this very informative. Thanks for all you do.
Nice! Another high quality video.
You can never underestimate redit’s power of 40 year old neck beards in their basements 😂
It's all blue hairs now.
You are such a good story teller I been watching your content for hours I love it 😅
Reddit is slowly dying.
Not for those of us who miss IRL
i love your content, pls post more such kinda topics
Hey I just wanted to say that your channel is simply amazing to watch
Can we all take a moment and pay some respects to Aaron and what he stood for... What a legend! Way ahead of his time.
Thank you for always making great mini movies for us to watch! I can't appreciate you enough on how this influenced me and my way of thinking!
This dude and is content is actually impressive and you can see the time put in to perfect his craft each and every day
Always qualify content on here, much appreciated 🎉❤
I never knew Reddit original story and I love MagnetesMedia
Cool story Bro
Wow I subscribed minutes ago and now this is out! Awesome!
This is the BEST edited video I've ever seen on YT.
Banger as usual keep em Coming
Great video MagnatesMedia and I like your videos so much :]
your videos r great john!!
You're right. That IS crazier than I thought. Excellent video!
love the quality of videos
I don't usually comment but this video is excellently made. The scripting, pacing, and especially your hook for the next video. Well done.
What a great video! What video editing tool do you mostly use for these kinds of videos?
Great video!
Keep those high quality videos coming 😀👌🏻
thanks for the video magantes 👍
I appreciate every video of yours❤️🔥💞
Really good video! Thanks for making a wonderful documentary!
Thanks John. Merry Christmas bro. =)
It was a douche move of them to removing any mention of Aaron being a co-founder. He played just as much of a role in making Reddit a known platform.
These stories have made me to create a certain online program/ platform here in Uganda and targeting a certain industry around the world. Have already got certain investors including an international bank.
Thank you for opening up our eyes.
Much support from Uganda and Africa
Which platform is the sir?
Notification on. Insane editing. I'll get here one day, just started out.
Another amazing video from magnates media
Love these videos
Love the content
I'm always surprised reddit is still around. So many people abandoned it in the early 2010's, but it kept right on growing and getting progressively worse.
And then gained "so many people" from 2010 and onward...
I was a member there, until someone unknown hacked my account and apparently broke some serious rules, in my name. I was banned. There is NO way I can appeal this, cannot contact them. My personal opinion is that reddit is garbage. tell everyone I know to avoid them.
It has the nastiest, more uncouth people in the whole world. I navigate it with care.
I like to think that reddit knew this video was coming out and changed their logo to look friendlier 😂
you are too good for this. congrats
You are the Legend mate !
Also lets remember when reddit started banning ideological non-compliant sub-reddits. That part was left out.
Great video! Pretty entertaining
Yes new video... well guess im gonna be late for work hahahah keep up the awesome work Magnates
I can not begin to explain how freaking awesome OG Reddit used to be...😩...I was there at the dawn of PEAK. ☹
Some subreddits have made their presence on Lemmyverse in the event of major collapse at Reddit.
Always appreciate these videos. Also, set yourself up for a change of pace. “Wholesome Magnates” series, anyone?
Best RUclips channel I’d say
LOVE UR CONTENT
YESSS A NEW VIDEO
Yessssss.. He uploaded 🎉
I really love your videos bud❤❤❤❤🎉
I love magnates my go to...everytime I want to give up on business
Really nice story and video as usual well done.
When you will talk about Discord??
love the video, just a pop of idea here, i would have said "the scandalous story of: reddit" instead of : the insane story of reddit" but just my personal opinion, your videos genuinely improve my day!!
I think he took your advice
On which software do you edit your videos just premiere pro or after effects or both?
Great video 👍
Keep them coming and dont ever stop! THANK YOU really ❤
Some of the mods on reddit are some of the most pathetic humans you'll ever encounter. Hall monitors all grown up and wielding the powers of banning you from a subreddit if they catch even a miniscule amount of disagreement. Wear that badge with honor, for it is truly the responsibilities of monarchs.
I can honestly say I've watched every magnates video sunce I discovered the page during COVID 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude when you say you will make better videos I feel you being too modest, the animation is amazing. Would love to learn animation . Keep doing what you do.
It's interesting to hear about Reddit's history
With the API changes I stopped using reddit as much, the mobile app is so terrible that I'd rather use my mobile browser to browse reddit, and even that's a little annoying
I get why they did it, but both sides handled things poorly
this is a good video i have watched it all already
I’ve been waiting for a new video from you
Bro, I subbed you when you were at 10k subs. At that time, I thought why this guy doesn't have millions of subs, because at that time, your editing skills were amazing as now. I love you, thank you for making these mini movies :).
Aaron didn't break into MIT (technically he did), they had an agreement with Elsevier (by a hefty price paid by MIT): it was free for students and staff, but the nasty part is that a lot, a lot of articles created by people in Universities were public funded but behind a paywall: Elsevier was shadowy being subsided by taxpayers dollars. Aaron already had done that with PACER where court records that are public by law (with exception determined the judge) but were behind a paywall (free...but not free, public but not public).
FBI tried to make Aaron an example using the same old scare tactics, but this backfired: many consider FBI, Elsevier, JSTOR and MIT directly responsible for Aaron's suicide. The silver lining as feeble as it is, is the Aaron Swartz law that FORCES any research made with public funding to be available without any fee.
But the damage was irreversible, we lost an innocent person, innocent in the sense that he believed he could made a difference, a fresh naiveté that I lost 4four of five decades ago.
He made a difference, but soon new SOPAs, PIPAs, Patriotic Acts, secret tribunals, will undo all that. We walk, no... we run blindfolded with roller skates near a precipice to a fascist police state all over the world that would made Pol Pot and all Kim dynasty proud.
I for my part am proud of Aaron and a deep grief enters my heart when I remember him.
Rest in peace Aaron Swartz.
Yea I love this channel I binged every episode, it’s bad
Just found your channel like 4 days ago and I’ve watched at least 25 videos of yours😂 great stuff
Your videos are great! Amazing quality and stories. Thank you for your work!
