    Does this corporation have a board? What the fuck are they doing exactly? I mean it’s private, so it’s probably just a bunch of buddies, but there’s been a ton of seed funding at Reddit, no?

This is going to be textbook business class case material for years to come.

      They sold to Conde Nast, a giant media conglomerate.

      Conde transferred ownership one level up the food chain. So the people in charge aren’t used to any kind of media, let alone social media.
