    Selling quarter of your stock AT THE FUCKING IPO is a shame. I can’t believe people are defending that.

    And I suspect they can’t sell the rest as easily as the A shares.

      I have nothing I’m willing to defend about Reddit management, I love the idea that they will end up penniless one day (though I’m sure that will not happen.)

      I just don’t think selling off 25% of one’s shares (necessarily) means what has been suggested.

          Selling everything = I have no faith

          Keeping everything when these shares represent almost your entire net worth = I know with 100% certainty that this business will grow

          Selling off 25% = I believe in the company, but I also acknowledge that there are many variables outside of my control that can affect the success of this company and I don’t want those to have huge negative repercussions on my life.

          Imagine talking about faith in that situation. If you really think faith is a good base for financial decisions you better keep far away from the stock market.
