Which is weird, because Reddit is blocked in China.

Reddit has just raised 300 million dollars

in the company's fourth round of funding.

Half of that is from a major Chinese tech company.

But who cares if it's from a Chinese company?

Because this round funding puts Reddit's valuation

especially if you consider what Reddit actually is.

It's basically a no-frills online message board

where people create discussion threads called Subreddits

Or the Subreddit “Who's the dumbest person you've ever met?”

and “tazed himself in the neck before a football game.”

NoahtheRed's post was upvoted nearly 18 thousand times.

And that's of course why Chinese tech giant Tencent

is investing a whopping $150 million in Reddit.

Who's apparently trying to figure out exactly

as soon as they heard about the Chinese funding deal.

of the banned Falun Gong spiritual group.

The cuddly bear is often censored in China,

the demands of the Chinese Communist Party.

See, Tencent has a history of censoring things

Amnesty International did a report back in 2016

taking least action on messaging privacy,

which Tencent owns a 10 percent share of,
