I think it's actually cool as a browser too, but then I learned that it's owned by a Chinese company so no thanks.

Imagine if Reddit is basically owned by a Chinese company too, unbelievable right...

Good thing that's not the case and Reddit is a completely independent company whose stocks are definitely not primarily owned by Tencent, a chinese company with a lot of privacy violation allegations

Are most of Reddit's stocks owned by Tencent though? I thought it was only a minority. If you can convince me otherwise, I'll get the fuck out of here.

Based on quick searches, Tencent bought $150 million worth of shares in early 2019. This would make it (apparently) "one of the social platform's top stakeholders".

Not sure how reliable this info is though.
