Reddit expects to finish this year with ad revenue ... slightly over $800 million... Reddit had said two years ago it aimed to exceed $1 billion in ad revenue by 2023...

So they missed their two year goal by 20%. They had forecasted a 2.9x growth and achieved 2.3x

When it comes time to IPO, they'll just blame the economy and ad blockers, while showing how many users they forced into their app where ad blocking is harder.

Thanks for the info. Can advertisers tell if it's bots or not? I would think the new users are just them making stuff up.

Laughs in DNS-level blocking
