  • Reddit, which loses money, is currently worth about $8.15 billion. 
  • The New York Times, which makes money, is worth about $7.2 billion.
  • That's because investors love Reddit's business model, which depends on free content from its users.

Pop quiz!

Which media company is more valuable? One that generated $800 million in revenue last year and lost $90 million?

Or one that brought in $2.4 billion and made a $232 million profit?
