Blogger bets on Reddit stock as its crackdown on AI marketing accounts intensifies
yangyi · x · 2026-11-05
A blogger shares his hands-on investment logic: Reddit's anti-spam enforcement has been tightening from May to September, and his Reddit marketing accounts are being banned faster than he can replace them. To hedge his Reddit marketing business, he bought Reddit stock — reasoning that a platform rejecting AI and marketing accounts will become scarce, authentic and more valuable. He cites the famous PDD investor who validated the thesis by buying products, interviewing merchants and running his own store. Core point: non-consensus decisions require first-hand context, not public filings and candlestick charts.
