How Reddit used Fake Users to Popularise their Site! So Reddit was launched in 2005 and initially struggled to gain popularity. To address this, Reddit's founder namely Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian created multiple fake accounts to stimulate activity on the platform.

This strategic move successfully attracted real users, leading to Reddit's growth into a major online community with over 430 million users today.
