Final thoughts

The Reddit community has over one million monthly active users. And yet, Reddit statistics show that not every brand has established some presence on the platform.

And there’s a good reason for that.

Unlike on other social media platforms, most Reddit users are wary of advertising. It has active communities that can smell paid ads a mile away. But if done right, an advertiser can take part in Reddit marketing and find success.
