Here are the stats:

334,626,161 monthly page views per Reddit engineer
(also 7,637,686 unique monthly visitors per engineer, at 30 engineers--we're hiring more!)

190,227,552 posts

36,136,190 user accounts

and 1 genderless, raceless, time-traveling alien from the future named Snoo.


Perhaps most importantly, the site says it has now donated over $2.6 million to charity and continues to do so.

Great job Reddit.
