Reddit is an enduring icon of the internet age and its best days are still ahead of it. This handy infographic tells you everything you ever needed to know about Reddit.

Siliconrepublic.com was first to report in recent weeks that Reddit may be the next born-on-the-internet company to establish an international HQ in Dublin.

A job post advertising a position in Dublin for trust and safety specialists signalled that the Irish capital may be the next outpost for the company.

The site was founded by Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in 2005 while they were roommates at the University of Virginia.

In 2014, the company raised $50m in a funding round led by Sam Altman, including investors Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Ron Conway, Snoop Dogg and Jared Leto, valuing the company at $500m.

Once again, Reddit has big plans and an intense focus on revenue.

The self-proclaimed “front page of the internet” may have its best days ahead of it.
