Reddit has a lot of users that spend a lot of time there, so it is advertising potential, and a lot of Brands pay for ads on Reddit. Investors hope they will eventually make enough ad revenue to turn a profit.

However Twitter was and is in the same boat, it is a big site with many users, but was never profitable.
