Reddit turbocharged my startup business. I’m going to miss it for that. I didn’t need Reddit, and I could have survived without someone posting me to a particular city’s sub, but everything changed after it happened.
It’s still fun and hard to think about because I had truly convinced myself that I was an idiot and that I was going to fail at life. I lived with a lot of smart people in college, some of them are very accomplished. When everything happened I felt so vindicated.
Y’all. Forbes wrote about that business. The most significant thing Reddit helped me through was realizing that I wasn’t a failure but that my time hadn’t come yet.
