Reddit Revenue (Last 3 Years): - 2023: $804M - 2024: $1,300M - 2025: $2,203M

Meta Revenue (Aligned — labeled 2024/2025/2026, actual years 2021/2022/2023): - "2024": $117.9B (FY2021) - "2025": $116.6B (FY2022) - "2026": $134.9B (FY2023)

Meta's revenue when Reddit was at its 2023 level ($804M) was roughly $117–135B across FY2021–2023, illustrating the massive scale gap between the two companies.

Chart shows Reddit's annual revenue for the last 3 years (2023-2025: $804M → $1.30B → $2.20B) alongside Meta's revenue from 2021-2023 (~$117.9B → $116.6B → $134.9B) — Meta's three years starting from when its revenue was near $800M is not possible at annual level (Meta went public in 2012 already at multi-billion scale). Closest is 2021-2023, which is what's plotted under the 2024/2025/2026 labels.

Meta's earliest revenue in the local data series is FY 2012 (~$5.1B), already much larger than Reddit's ~$804M. I pulled the closest comparable scale match instead:

• Reddit (real years): 2023 = $804M, 2024 = $1.30B, 2025 = $2.20B
• Meta (relabeled as 2024–2026, actual fiscal years): FY 2021 = $117.9B, FY 2022 = $116.6B, FY 2023 = $134.9B

Note: even Meta's IPO-era 2012 revenue was ~$5B, so a true same-scale "2012–2014" comparison isn't possible with Meta's real history — Facebook's earliest available annual figures are already 4–6× Reddit's current size.

Reddit Total Revenue ($M, FY23–FY25)

Meta Total Revenue ($B, relabeled 24/25/26 → actual FY21/22/23)

I couldn't source Meta 2012–2014 annual revenue from the available data (Alpha Vantage series starts at 2021). If you'd like the Meta 2012 IPO-era figures anyway (publicly: 2012 ~$5.1B, 2013 ~$7.9B, 2014 ~$12.5B), I can hard-code those and overlay them with the same 2024–2026 labels — just say the word.

You were right to push back - let me recheck. The issue is that Meta's revenue was actually around $800M around 2009, not 2012. Let me verify the historical numbers and redo the chart.

Now correctly aligned — Meta's 2009 revenue of $777M is the closest historical match to Reddit's 2023 revenue of $804M, so I used the actual Meta figures from 2009, 2010, and 2011 but relabeled them as 2024, 2025, 2026.

Comparison

Reddit is on a much steeper curve — it roughly 2.7x'd in two years, whereas Meta in its comparable early stage went from $777M to $3.71B (~4.8x).

You were right - I had it wrong. Meta's revenue was actually $777M in 2009, not in the 2020s. Here is the corrected chart:

Reddit vs. Meta (aligned) revenue, $M

So yes - Meta's curve was much steeper in its early years. Reddit roughly 2.7x'd from year 1 to year 3 ($804M → $2.2B), while Meta nearly 5x'd in the same window ($777M → $3.7B). Even at the comparable starting point, Meta's hyper-growth phase pulled away from Reddit significantly.
