Contributing Factors:

Updates to Google’s search engine this year may have given Reddit a big boost in organic search traffic. Alterations to how third-party apps accessed Reddit’s content, forcing users to switch to the site, may also have contributed to its growth. Publicity around Reddit’s stock market flotation in March this year may have also played a role.
