Ignoring the naysayers

There was a lot of chatter about Reddit’s IPO being a bust. We wrote a newsletter about why were excited about the Reddit IPO and some of the emails that came back were… interesting. Seems that a lot of people really either did not like Reddit or it was a great punching bag for general hatred towards tech.

The media also had a bit of a heyday with Reddit. But that’s come to be expected now as what sells is doom and gloom.

With the stock surpassing the $10B last round, the naysayers and haters are nowhere to be found. Of course, we have no idea where this stock will go in the next few months. But despite where the stock goes from here, it was an incredibly successful IPO.

It’s yet another reminder that we’re all best served putting our heads down and ignoring the outside noise. You can only control what you can control. There will always be people doubting you or hating.
