Inside Reddit’s grassroots version of the pivot to video

The self-proclaimed “front page of the internet” does not want to be left in the dust by platform giants in the mad dash toward video.

Sitting at the helm of the Internet’s newest social juggernaut, Reddit general manager Erik Martin has a tough task on his hands. He is charged with simultaneously turning Reddit’s 4.5 billion monthly pageviews (by its count) into profits while keeping the peace with the site’s notoriously advertising-averse user base.
