Reddit celebrates 20th anniversary with AI focus

Reddit just hit its 20th anniversary and is marking the occasion with Reddit Answers—a fresh AI feature that quickly sums up posts and comments for you, while still highlighting real, human replies.
The goal? Make info easier to find without losing the authentic Reddit vibe.

TL;DR

Reddit is monetizing its data

Reddit Answers also takes on spam by helping spot fake, AI-generated content. CTO Chris Slowe says keeping trust through genuine posts is key as they fight this issue.
Plus, Reddit's teaming up with Google and OpenAI to monetize its data—showing just how valuable all those conversations are in today's AI world.
Despite these changes, Reddit says it's sticking to its roots of community and anonymity.
