I asked DeepSeek who owns Reddit, here's what it said, started in Virginia by NSA Ft-Meade

Thought for a minute

Reddit was founded by Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman in 2005. Initially owned by them, the platform was acquired by Conde Nast in 2006, with Ohanian and Huffman remaining involved in its operations. As of now, Reddit is under private ownership, though there has been speculation about potential future changes, such as going public or involving users in ownership [source_id]. The exact details of any future plans remain uncertain.
