It all started back in 2005 when two college roommates, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, decided to create a platform where users could submit and vote on content. The idea was to have a place where the most popular stuff would rise to the top, kind of like a popularity contest for internet posts.

By 2011, Reddit had grown so popular that it became an independent subsidiary of its parent company, Advance Publications.
