A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.

What's an IPO?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Company goes on the stock market so anyone can buy stock in that company.

Usually means that said company makes a ton of money but also have to keep these new investors happy and make the company more profitable. Can often lead to enshitification.

Is there a case where it actually hasn't led to enshitification?
