Reddit reported a $500 million revenue for Q2 2025, a 78 percent growth, and a net income of $89 million, bouncing back from a previous loss. The company benefits from AI firms needing human-created posts for model training, leading to a 24 percent increase in data licensing revenue, which reached $35 million. Reddit has formed partnerships with OpenAI and Google, and is addressing AI-generated spam content. CEO Steve Huffman believes Reddit's potential in aiming for the search market will grow with upcoming antitrust changes affecting competitors like Google.
CEO Steve Huffman said, "Reddit is built for this moment. In a world where connection is increasingly rare, our communities show how valuable human conversation and knowledge really are."
Huffman acknowledged the value of content licensing along with its limits, stating, "What we've learned since we did those deals is that the Reddit Corpus is not essential, but appears to be growing in importance to some of the largest players on the Internet."
