Reddit, Inc. Investors Given Chance to Join Class Action
Between October 2024 and May 2025, significant allegations have arisen surrounding Reddit, Inc. (RDDT) regarding misleading information that the company provided to its investors. These allegations have led to a call for investors who have incurred losses to step forward and participate in a class action lawsuit against the company.
What Is the Class Action Lawsuit About?
The legal complaint, coming from the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, states that investors were misled about critical factors affecting Reddit's performance. The lawsuit outlines several key points:
1.
Algorithm Changes: Reddit failed to inform its investors about the wide-reaching impact of changes in Google's search algorithm and features like AI Overview, which ultimately resulted in a significant drop in traffic directed to the Reddit website.
2.
Traffic Decrease: The lawsuit claims these algorithm alterations were materially different from prior circumstances that had previously resulted in reduced traffic to the site.
3.
Misinterpretation of Search Terms: It was alleged that while there was an increase in search queries for “Reddit”, the truth was that users were acquiring information directly from Google, rather than intending to visit Reddit. This “zero-click” search scenario was markedly affecting the site's traffic.
4.
Revenue Misestimations: The complaint contends that the company lacked a reasonable basis for its optimistic outlook concerning user rates and advertising revenues, undermining the accuracy of their previously positive annual statements.
5.
Materially Misleading Statements: Because the defendants had prior knowledge of the issues impacting traffic, their reassurances about the business's health and future prospects were considered materially misleading.
