Featuring Steve Huffman, Cofounder and CEO, Reddit
Moderated by Harry McCracken, Global Technology Editor, Fast Company

Twenty years after its founding, Reddit remains one of the few social platforms staying true to its original ethos: a place for authentic human conversations. Doubling down on community-driven engagement and human-led moderation has driven Reddit to 471.6 million weekly active visitors, making it the third-most-visited website in the world. But the company isn't shying away from AI—it’s leveraging the technology with clear intention. In this conversation, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman discusses how the company has positioned itself as a rare trusted space online—and how it’s making itself friendlier to newcomers.
