Reddit calls itself “the front page of the internet” for a reason.

The platform has more than 50,000 active communities and 250 million users, and attracts 8 billion page views on a monthly basis. It’s a buzzing online world that’s open for everyone to enter—which is why digital marketers are so interested in it.
